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?

View allHey, I've been hitting the gym and my trainer suggested I start using whey protein. But I'm kinda worried if it could mess with my libido or even cause erectile dysfunction. Is it really safe to go ahead with whey protein?
Whey protein is generally safe for most people and does not directly cause loss of libido or erectile dysfunction. However, excessive protein intake can sometimes affect hormone levels or kidney function in some individuals. It's best to use it in moderation, and if you have any concerns, consulting with a healthcare provider is always a good idea.

I have multiple cysts on my testis, including three larger ones and many smaller ones. Is there any treatment option besides surgery? Also, how can I confirm if these are actually cysts or something else what tests would be needed for that?
Yes, there are some treatment options for multiple testicular cysts besides surgery, and several tests can help confirm the diagnosis. Initially, an ultrasound of the scrotum is a good first step. In some cases, aspiration (draining the fluid) or percutaneous sclerotherapy (killing the cyst cells with an injection) might be options. Surgical removal is usually reserved for larger cysts or those causing pain or other complications

I'm wondering how many times a healthy person should normally pee if they're drinking 8 glasses of water each day. Is there a usual frequency I should expect, or could it be different for everyone?
