I'm really worried because I'm diabetic with an FBS of 200 and I've noticed that I'm getting sensitive areas under the foreskin, which is prominent after intercourse. I'm uncircumcised and have been using Surbraz TZ cream for about two years to help subside the cuts, but it keeps recurring. My routine urine tests always come back normal, but sometimes my wife ends up with a UTI after we've been intimate. We've tried using Zocon T, and it helps temporarily, but the symptoms keep returning. I've seen a lot of skin and VD specialists, but no one has been able to provide a solution. I understand this might be related to my diabetes, but there's got to be some kind of cure or long-term solution, right? What should I do next?

Consider consulting a urologist or a diabetes specialist for personalized guidance, as your symptoms suggest a possible connection to balanitis, a common condition in uncircumcised diabetic men, characterized by inflammation and irritation under the foreskin; in addition to managing your diabetes, practicing good genital hygiene, and using topical creams like Surfraz TZ, explore other treatment options like circumcision, laser therapy, or antifungal medications, and address your wife's recurrent UTIs through a urologist or gynecologist to prevent further complications.

My recent USG showed an enlarged prostate at 75cc along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis. I might need surgery any idea about the cost and recommendations for a good hospital?

The USG findings of an enlarged prostate at 75cc, along with fatty liver and cholelithiasis (gallstones), indicate multiple health concerns. The enlarged prostate, specifically benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), is common in older men and can cause urinary issues. Fatty liver, also known as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), is often linked to metabolic issues and can progress to more serious liver problems if not addressed. Cholelithiasis, or gallstones, can cause pain and digestive issues and may require medical intervention. It's crucial to consult with a healthcare professional for a proper diagnosis and management plan for all three conditions
