What's the safest surgery option for someone with BPH who also has heart issues and diabetes? I'm worried about complications and want to know how much each procedure might cost
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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

View allI'm concerned because my penis curves downwards like a banana when it's erect. There's no pain, and I don't have any issues except for the curvature. Is this something I should be worried about? Could it be affecting me in some way I don't realize?
A curved penis, especially when erect, is typically not a cause for concern if it doesnt cause pain, discomfort, or interfere with sexual function. This is often a natural variation in penis shape, which can occur due to factors like genetics or Peyronies disease, though the latter is usually associated with pain or difficulty during sex. Since you mention there's no pain or other issues, it's likely just a harmless curvature.

I'm kind of worried because I noticed something unusual with my masturbation routine. A few days ago, semen was coming out as usual, but the last two times, even though it felt like it did, nothing actually came out. Is this something normal, or should I be concerned about it?
Consult a urologist to discuss your symptoms, as the sensation of ejaculation without semen release, also known as "dry orgasm" or "retrograde ejaculation," can be caused by various factors, including over-masturbation, prostate issues, or certain medications, and they can provide personalized guidance and reassurance.

I've been having this dull pinch sensation in my penis whenever I'm straining, stressing, or even just sitting or standing. It first showed up during a regular masturbatory sessionnothing too rough. It's been hanging around for the last several weeks, and now I've noticed a purple spot on the glans corona, right where I feel the pinch. It kind of looks like a bruise. Just recently, the sensation seems to be happening less often and isn't as intense. What could be going on?
Wash the wound*: Immediately wash the bite area with soap and water. 2. *Seek medical attention*: Consult a doctor for post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) and wound care. *Foods to Avoid* To minimize the risk of infection and promote healing: 1. *Spicy food*: Avoid spicy food, as it can irritate the wound. 2. *Oily food*: Oily food can slow down the healing process. 3. *Sour food*: Sour food can increase the risk of infection. 4. *High-sodium food*: High-sodium food can increase swelling and delay healing. 5. *Raw meat and seafood*: Raw meat and seafood can increase the risk of infection. 6. *Unpasteurized dairy*: Unpasteurized dairy products can contain harmful bacteria. *Foods to Eat* Focus on nutrient-rich foods that promote healing: 1. *Leafy greens*: Leafy greens like spinach, kale, and collard greens are rich in vitamins and minerals. 2. *Citrus fruits*: Citrus fruits like oranges, grapefruits, and lemons are high in vitamin C, which promotes healing. 3. *Berries*: Berries like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries are rich in antioxidants and vitamins. 4. *Nuts and seeds*: Nuts and seeds like almonds, sunflower seeds, and pumpkin seeds are rich in healthy fats and protein. 5. *Whole grains*: Whole grains like brown rice, quinoa, and whole-wheat bread provide essential fiber and nutrients.
