My PSA level is 100 ng/ml and I'm having really bad pain when I pee, plus the flow is super slow. What should I do next? Is this life-threatening or can it be treated without surgery?

A PSA level of 100 ng/ml and the symptoms you're describing (painful urination and slow flow) are very concerning and should be evaluated urgently. It's crucial to seek medical attention promptly to determine the cause and appropriate treatment plan. While not necessarily life-threatening immediately, the symptoms and PSA level suggest a need for a urologist's evaluation

My father was just diagnosed with prostate cancer with a Gleason score of 34. One doctor recommended hormone therapy, but from what I've read, robotic surgery seems like a better option since hormone therapy isn't a full cure. I'm really confused about what treatment would be best for him can you help explain the pros and cons of each?

Hormone therapy can control prostate cancer but is not curative; robotic surgery may remove cancer but depends on age, stage, and fitness‚Äîboth have pros and cons.

I have a grade 3 varicocele on the left side and grade 2 on the right, with a sperm count of 26 million per ml. What's the better option to improve my sperm count homeopathy or surgery?

For improving sperm count in the context of grade 3 and 2 varicoceles, surgery (specifically varicocelectomy) is generally considered the more effective option, while homeopathy is not a scientifically recognized treatment for varicoceles or for improving sperm count
