Is there any way to treat a urethral stricture without surgery or using a catheter? I've heard about urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti, but I'd prefer to avoid that. Are there any effective medicines or non-invasive treatments that can help?

While urethral dilation with a catheter in Uttar Basti (likely referring to a specific technique) and surgery are the primary treatments for urethral strictures, there are some other non-invasive options and medications that can help manage the condition and its symptoms

View allI've been diagnosed with prostatomegaly with intravesical extension and have really poor urine flow, even had retention. My doctor recommended TURP surgery, but I'm not sure if it's the best option should I get a second opinion? What are the alternatives or risks with this procedure?
TURP is standard for severe symptoms—consider second opinion but untreated BPH can cause long-term bladder issues.

I've been feeling a burning sensation at the tip of my penis since having rough oral sex three days ago. There arent any sores, swelling, or marks, and I havent noticed any fluids or pus. I'm pretty stressed about it but wondering if it could just be some kind of soreness. What do you think?
It is possible that you are experiencing irritation or inflammation due to the rough oral sex. To help alleviate the burning sensation, you can try using an over-the-counter topical cream like lidocaine gel to numb the area. Additionally, you can take ibuprofen to reduce inflammation and discomfort. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

My dad is 65 and has multiple kidney stones around 25mm in size. He doesn't have BP or diabetes. Can these stones be treated with medicine or does he need surgery? What's the best option for someone his age?
For 25mm kidney stones, surgical intervention is generally recommended due to their size and likelihood of causing blockage or complications. Medications can be used to manage symptoms and prevent future stones, but they are unlikely to dissolve or pass stones of this size
