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

Question

I noticed my left spermatic cord seems longer than the right one but there's no pain. Is this something abnormal that might need surgery or is it normal to have a slight difference?
