I'm a bit concerned because my father has had laser prostate treatments twice before, once in 2011 when his prostate was 50mm, and then again in 2014 when it was 60mm. Despite that, he still has issues with prostate enlargement. By August 2015, his prostate had grown to 76mm. We decided to try ayurvedic treatment, and by October 2015, it's down to 56mm. Is this kind of fluctuation normal, and should we be worried about long-term effects or stability, especially since he has gone through both laser and ayurvedic treatments? Any advice on what to keep an eye on or consider moving forward?

I'm a bit concerned about my urine test results which show pus cells at 34 hpf. Is this something I should be worried about, or is it just normal?

If you don't have any lower abdominal pain, burning sensation during micturation, nausea and fever, then this reading can be considered normal as these numbers are not significant until you have symptoms associated with it but the report is generally normal.

I'm struggling with maintaining sexual activity for longer than 35 minutes. I'm curious if taking Viagra could help, but I'm really concerned about any potential side effects it might have. Could you give me some advice on this?
