Patient's question:
The patient is my family member, 59 years old this year. Can they have surgery? Will it affect their future life?Doctor's answer:
The stem is highly harmful, especially to middle-aged and elderly men. If left untreated, it can lead to various urological diseases, and in advanced stages, it may even cause penile cancer. Elderly patients require comprehensive examinations. The organs of elderly individuals undergo varying degrees of degenerative changes, making them less tolerant to surgery. Tissue repair and healing are slower, and they may also suffer from chronic conditions such as cardiovascular, endocrine, and other diseases. Therefore, a thorough preoperative examination is necessary. Based on the results of the examination, corresponding treatments should be administered to ensure the patient's condition is optimal before surgery.
