Dr. Nicolas Lailas MD's Expert Contributions
Can urinary retention cause chronic fatigue?
Probably not. You need to have a post void residual in to see if you truly are retaining. If you are going frequently at night, that might be the cause of your fatigue because you’re not getting enough sleep. They may need to address why you’re going so frequently. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Testicle pain?
Probably nothing, but could be if you had not ejaculated in a while, you may have some mild inflammation of the epididymis, which you can treat with 400 mg of Motrin or Advil. If it doesn’t get better in a few days, then I would probably order a squirrel ultrasound on you. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Understanding urine analysis?
You have a UTI. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Red ball sack?
That is not normal. You should follow up with the urologist who did the biopsy and have him look at the scrotum. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Can you get testicle pain from sitting?
No. Not unless you accidentally sit on your testicle. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Flowmax?
You can stop the Flomax now. It was only to get you going. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Kidney disease?
I’m sorry, I am not familiar with the Golo product. You would best ask a nephrologist. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
What exercise is good for your prostate?
There is no exercise that will help the prostate. The tough exercise on a prostate is a 10 speed banana seat. That on a prolonged ride can cause penile numbness due to impingement of the pudendal nerve. Also, regular, not excessive ejaculation is helpful whether it is masturbation or regular intercourse. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Is drinking a lot of water good for your prostate?
It is not helpful to overly drink water. The key rule is without exercise, your body needs 10ml/pound. So, a 200-pound man should drink 2L of fluid a day. There’s no advantage to your prostate drinking more. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
How can I clean my prostate?
No such thing. To maintain good prostate health, avoid inactivity, a normal sex life, and avoid excessive caffeine. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Can a UTI make it difficult to urinate?
Yes. The bacteria can paralyze the bladder, which makes it more difficult to urinate. Once the bacteria is cleared, it will go back to normal. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Why do I have burning urination during my pregnancy?
Yes, and it is more common and that is why you need to see your OB and get a urine culture. They usually check you at each visit. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Why am I unable to ejaculate?
It is usually due to medications. The SSRIs or antidepressants do this all the time. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Why do I only have 1 testicle?
The testicle probably torqued during embryonic development, or the testicle did not form at birth, which is a congenital problem. Typically in this situation, the other testicle hypertrophies (gets larger) to take over the function of the missing testicle. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Swollen testicles?
Could do a vasectomy to stop it. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Is always needing to empty my bladder a mental illness?
Probably not. Usually there is a physical or irritation that does that. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
I'm concerned about my recent CBC?
You need a hematologist or infectious disease physician. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
What is the best antibiotic to treat epididymitis?
Doxycycline or Bactrim. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
Peyronies disease?
That is exactly what it is. Nothing else does that. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
How accurate are CT scans for kidney stones?
A CT scan is the gold standard for finding the location and number of stones that you have. A plain X-ray is used for diagnostic purposes and has less radiation, but not as sensitive and cannot visualize all stones, whereas a CT scan can. Dr. Niko Lailas READ MORE
