I have phimosis and really don't want to get surgery or a circumcision are there any other treatment options that could help me without going under the knife?

Yes, phimosis can often be treated without surgery. Non-surgical options include topical steroid creams to reduce inflammation and improve foreskin elasticity, manual stretching exercises to gradually loosen the foreskin, and, if an infection is present, antibiotics or antifungal creams

Question

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?

Question

I'm a 26-year-old guy, and I'm really concerned about something that's been happening with me. Whenever I think about anything sexual or watch a sexy movie, this clear gel-like liquid comes out of my penis. I'm curious about what exactly this is and how I can stop it. Also, I've noticed that if I get aroused at night or have a sexual dream, I end up ejaculating without realizing it. Could you give me some advice on what's going on?

Question

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.
