Hi everyone,

I’m a 37-year-old male and I’m scheduled to have the Optilume drug-coated balloon procedure for a urethral stricture.

My urologist advised me to wait 3 months before trying for a baby. However, I read that the FDA recommends waiting at least 6 months because of the paclitaxel coating.

I’m okay with waiting 6 months. My main concern is whether this procedure can affect my ability to become a father in the future.

I wanted to ask people who have had Optilume:

1. Did your doctor advise you to wait 3 months or 6 months?
2. Has anyone successfully conceived or had a baby after Optilume?
3. Did anyone have any fertility or sperm-related problems afterward?
4. Has anyone done a semen analysis before and after Optilume? Were there any changes?
5. Did your urologist mention any concerns about having children in the future?

I would really appreciate hearing from anyone who has been through this and later tried to have a baby.

I’m filing my mother’s ITR for AY 2026–27. Her pension statement shows roughly:

Basic Pension: ₹5.8L
DA: ₹3.3L
Arrear DA: ₹7K
Gross Pension: around ₹9.2L

Under B1 – Income From Salary, I entered the gross pension (around ₹9.2L) as Gross Salary, with exempt allowances as ₹0.

The ₹75K deduction u/s 16 gets populated automatically by the ITR portal, bringing income chargeable under Salaries to around ₹8.4L.

Is this the correct way to enter pension income based on the pension statement?
