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?

Watchful waiting is often chosen by men who are not bothered by symptoms of enlarged prostate. They have no treatment but get regular checkups and wait to see whether the condition gets worse....Medical treatment of BPH is usually reserved for men who have significant symptoms. The available drugs alpha blockers relax the smooth muscles of the prostate, and the bladder neck, which helps to relieve urinary obstruction caused by an enlarged prostate...

Question

I'm really worried about this issue I've been having. For the past 5 years, I've been dealing with dhatu rog and premature ejaculation. It gets quite embarrassing because whenever I even think about anything romantic or if I'm just talking to my girlfriend, this sticky watery fluid comes out of my penis. I'm not married yet, but it's starting to freak me out. Can you give me some advice or help on what I should do?
