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?

I've been dealing with a burning sensation when I pee and I'm having to go way more often than usual. It's been going on for two months now. I did a urine culture test and there wasn't any infection, but it showed increased pus cells. I'm really worried about what this could mean. Could you help me understand what's going on?

I've noticed that after ejaculation, I often feel the urge to urinate, but it's hard to get started. Once I do, the urine stream seems pretty narrow. When I'm not dealing with this, everything flows normally, though sometimes it's like the stream sprays unexpectedly. What could be causing this?

Can surgery for an enlarged prostate or prostatitis increase the risk of prostate cancer later on I'm 58 with a PSA of 18.9 and worried about this possibility

No, surgery for an enlarged prostate (benign prostatic hyperplasia or BPH) or prostatitis generally does not increase the risk of prostate cancer later on. However, there are other factors that can affect PSA levels and potentially lead to a diagnosis of prostate cancer after treatment for BPH or prostatitis.
