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?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allIm really struggling with trying to stop my masturbation habit. It feels like theres just so much hormonal activity going on thats pushing me to do it. Im dealing with these intense sexual feelings every day, and Im looking for some advice on how to manage or lessen them. Are there any ways I can mitigate any negative effects that this habit might have on me?
It's great that you're seeking to manage this. Excessive sexual urges can often be controlled by staying active, practicing mindfulness, and redirecting focus to hobbies, exercise, or productive activities. Speaking to a counselor or doctor can also help address underlying causes and guide you through strategies for healthier habits.

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?
Grade‚ÄØ1 prostate enlargement in frail patients may be managed with alpha-blockers and 5‚Äëalpha-reductase inhibitors.Long‚Äëterm catheter vs surgery depends on symptoms and health.
