My father has grade 1 prostate enlargement at 56cc and is currently on medications like martifur, tamsulosin hydrochloride, solicept, and b complex. He's very weak and using a catheter to pass urine, so surgery isn't an option for him right now. Can grade 1 prostate be cured with just medications, or is surgery the only way? His health is fragile, and we're really hoping medicine alone can help. What would you suggest?

Hey, I'm a bit concerned about my situation. I started off okay but then got pretty wrapped up in masturbation and now I'm dealing with PE. Plus, I'm kinda hooked on porn too. Do you think if I change my diet to stuff that's healthier it might help, or should I definitely see a homeopathic doctor about this?

While eating healthy is always beneficial, it is unlikely to be the sole solution to your concerns. It would be helpful to address the underlying causes, including possible psychological factors, through a combination of medical consultation, therapy, and lifestyle changes. Consulting a homeopathic doctor may be a good option if you're looking for an alternative approach, but its important to consider a comprehensive plan that includes medical, psychological, and behavioral components for the best outcome.
