For someone with BPH, heart issues, and diabetes, the safest surgery option would likely involve a minimally invasive procedure like Transurethral Incision of the Prostate (TUIP) or laser surgery (HoLEP or ThuLEP). TUIP is generally safer than TURP due to a lower risk of complications like bleeding and requires less anesthesia. Laser surgery offers less bleeding, shorter hospital stays, and faster recovery compared to traditional TURP

I've been struggling with premature ejaculation for the last 2 years and it's really affecting my life. I tend to discharge early and it's becoming quite frustrating. Could you help me understand what's going on and maybe suggest some medication or treatments that could help with this issue?

Premature ejaculation (PE) is a common condition, and it's important to address both physical and psychological factors. I recommend speaking with a healthcare provider to rule out underlying causes, as treatments may include behavioral therapy, lifestyle changes, or medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) or topical anesthetics to help delay ejaculation. Open communication with your partner can also be beneficial in managing this issue.

It's been 7 days since my circumcision but there's still swelling and a ring-like appearance around the head of my penis. How long until the swelling fully goes down and everything looks normal again? I also have some lingering pain - is that expected? Will that ring shape disappear as it heals?

Swelling and pain are common after circumcision and should subside within 2-3 weeks. The ring-like appearance is normal post-surgery, and it will likely disappear as the healing progresses.
