I am a 69-year-old male with an enlarged prostate and am currently taking Tamsulosin. My doctor has recommended a TURP procedure, but I am concerned about potential side effects such as loss of ejaculation, erectile dysfunction (ED), or incontinence. Are there safer or other options available?

I’ve been very nauseous this entire day and have been trying my best to eat, but in the past 3 hours it has worsened and it hurts too much to eat. I have very sharp pain localized in my stomach area. I’m not using any medication and I’m 16 years old. I have anxiety and a fear of throwing up. I’ve had similar symptoms 6 years ago, and these symptoms are almost always there with varying intensity. Drinking tea and talking to a counselor makes me feel better, but my parents getting mad at me makes it worse. I’ve had constipation, tightness in the belly, difficulty breathing, and shivering. I saw a doctor 2 months ago and had a lab test on my stool for any bacteria, which came out negative. I’ll be starting mental therapy soon. I have no history of alcohol, drugs, or smoking.
