Question

I'm 29 and I've been married for a year, but we still haven't had a child. I found out that my sperm count is low at 11 million. The doctor suggested taking Productive M tabs for three months, but I'm also thinking about not having sex for a while to see if that helps store up my sperm. How long do you think it might take for my sperm count to get back to a normal range? I really want to help my wife get pregnantany advice would be appreciated.

Question

I'm experiencing some discomfort and it's been worrying me. It started with pain in my lower abdomen, and after a while, I began feeling pain in my penis and the nearby pelvic area. I've had IBS for quite some time, and I'm wondering if this penile pain could be related to my lower abdomen issues and IBS. Does that make sense? Could they be connected?
