My sonography showed an enlarged prostate but the urologist in Latur is away for two days. The local family doctor prescribed urimax 0.4mg tablet. Is it okay to wait for two days before seeing the specialist? Will this tablet be enough or is surgery usually needed for this condition?

Watchful waiting is often chosen by men who are not bothered by symptoms of enlarged prostate. They have no treatment but get regular checkups and wait to see whether the condition gets worse....Medical treatment of BPH is usually reserved for men who have significant symptoms. The available drugs alpha blockers relax the smooth muscles of the prostate, and the bladder neck, which helps to relieve urinary obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate...

I've had bxo for about 15 days now and I'm really worried. Can you tell me what treatment options are available? Is this condition curable or will I need surgery?

Your symptoms can be relieved by the use of steroid creams or ointments. Bland moisturisers help to soften and protect the skin. In men, tightening of the foreskin will often respond to steroid ointments; if not, a circumcision may be worth considering. In children, circumcision is usually required

I'm having some trouble managing my sexual urges, and it's impacting my focus on my career. I find myself masturbating at least twice a week, and I'm currently single with no plans to get married. I really enjoy sex but prefer being alone. Lately, I've noticed my erections are not as strong or lasting as they used to be. Are there any operations or medications that can help control these feelings? I'd appreciate any advice.
