My father was just diagnosed with 179cc prostate and had a sudden urine blockage so they put in a catheter. Can this be treated with medication or will he need surgery?

With a large prostate (179cc) and sudden urinary blockage, treatment for your father will likely involve a combination of medication and potentially surgery. While medication, like alpha-blockers, can help relax muscles in the urinary tract and improve urine flow, the size of the prostate and the sudden blockage suggest surgery might be necessary

I recently went to a urologist who told me my testicles are undescended and still in my lower abdomen based on an ultrasound scan. I'm 26 and worried it might be too late to fix this. Can you recommend a good doctor or hospital in Bangalore for this? Also, any idea what the surgery might cost roughly?

Surgery is the best option, we cant do anything much with medication, so go for surgery.
