I'm looking for some advice on what medication I can take to help with issues related to the erectness and hardness of my penis during intercourse. I'm really concerned about finding a solution that doesn't come with unwanted side effects. Can you suggest something that would work without causing other problems?

To address erectness and hardness issues during intercourse, consider consulting a urologist or a sexologist for personalized guidance; in the meantime, natural remedies like L-arginine supplements, vitamin D, and zinc may help improve blood flow and erectile function;

I'm alone with my father-in-law since my husband is out of town. He has an enlarged prostate, and I'm worried because he doesn't sleep well at night. I thought about giving him Avil 25, but I read online that it's not safe for someone with an enlarged prostate. I'm really concerned about what I should do. Do you think it's okay to give him this medication, or should I consider something else? Please let me know what would be best.
Avil (Pheniramine) should be used with caution in patients with prostate enlargement due to its potential to worsen urinary retention. It would be best to avoid giving Avil 25 to your father-in-law without consulting a healthcare professional. Instead, you can try non-medical interventions to help him sleep, such as creating a calming bedtime routine, ensuring a comfortable sleeping environment, and avoiding stimulants like caffeine close to bedtime. If his sleep troubles persist, it would be advisable to seek medical advice for a more suitable sleep aid.

my dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age
Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.
