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 allI've got a small cut on my foreskin that bled when it first happened and was painful. It doesn't bleed anymore, but sometimes I still feel pain, and it hasn't healed yet. What's going on, and should I be worried about this?
It sounds like you may have a small cut on your foreskin that is taking some time to heal. To help with the healing process and reduce pain, you can apply an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Polysporin on the cut twice a day. Additionally, you can take an over-the-counter pain reliever like Tylenol to help with the pain. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry, and try to avoid any activities that may irritate the cut further. If the cut does not show signs of improvement or if the pain persists, it would be best to consult with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and treatment.

My left testicle hangs much lower than my right one and sometimes feels like it's burning. I've heard about bell clapper deformity causing testicular torsion and I'm worried because I also have bilateral grade 1 varicocele. Could this deformity be why my left testicle hangs differently? Do I need surgery for this or can it be managed with medications?
Lower testicle and mild varicocele can be normal, but persistent pain needs evaluation. Bell clapper deformity may need surgery if torsion risk is high.

Six months post-op from open varicocele surgery, it's generally safe to resume running and working out, but it's crucial to listen to your body and gradually increase activity levels. While light exercise like walking is often recommended early on, avoid strenuous activities like running and weightlifting for the initial few weeks
