Question

I've been experiencing pain at the tip of my penis head since yesterday evening, and I'm really concerned about it. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?

My uncle is 55 years old and his biopsy results show moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma of the prostate with a Gleason score of 347 and ISUP grade 2. There's no perineural invasion, but 60 tissues showed tumor presence. The urologist suggested either surgery or injections every three months costing 12000. He's not financially strong, so what should we do? Is the operation life-threatening? Also, who performs this surgery a urologist, surgeon, or some other specialist? We're really worried and need guidance.

I'm dealing with a grade 2 varicocele and I'm really into my gym workouts. Is it okay for me to continue going to the gym? Also, are there any specific things I need to watch out for or avoid while exercising? On top of that, are there any medications or treatments I should consider to help reverse or manage this?
