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 have phimosis and cant retract my foreskin even when masturbating is it possible to have sex without retracting or do i need surgery i can move the skin a little but cant wear a condom properly

It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

My foreskin pulls back fine when I'm soft but it gets really tight and painful when I'm erect. What can I do to fix this without surgery? Are there any stretches or creams that might help?

circumcision is advised,surgery is advised.

I had varicocele surgery about 25 days ago but there's still swelling in my scrotum how long does it usually take for the swelling to go away completely? Is this normal or should I be concerned?

Swelling after varicocele surgery is common and usually subsides within 2-4 weeks. If you're still experiencing swelling at 25 days, it's within the expected timeframe, but it's always best to consult your doctor for reassurance or to address any specific concerns
