Does having agglutination in a semen test mean its harder to get pregnant, and is it something we should be worried about? We've been trying to conceive for about five months now, and I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for our chances. What should we do next?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
The presence of agglutination in a semen analysis may indicate an issue with sperm motility, as it suggests that sperm are clumping together. While this can potentially affect fertility, it is not always a major problem. I recommend consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and guidance, as other factors also play a role in conception.

View allI'm concerned because when my penis becomes erect, it bends downward, and it's about 5 inches in size. I'm really curious if there's a way to make it straighter and maybe even increase the size. Can you help with this?
It's common for the penis to have a slight bend during an erection, and this often doesn't require treatment unless it causes discomfort or affects sexual function. If you're concerned about the bend or size, consider consulting a urologist to rule out any underlying conditions like Peyronie's disease and explore safe options for treatment. As for size, non-surgical methods are limited, and a healthcare professional can guide you on realistic expectations and options.

My brother has partial phimosis and we're considering surgery but I was wondering if there's a cream or tablet that could help loosen the skin so he can retract it fully without needing an operation
Topical steroids work by reducing the inflammation and loosening the foreskin. This makes it easier to retract the foreskin without experiencing severe pain or discomfort. Just apply the cream or ointment in the area around the head of the penis twice or thrice a day

Hey, I've been wondering if masturbating twice a day could be bad for my health. I came across an article saying it helps reduce stress and acts as a great stress reliever. But I'm also seeing other articles and hearing from some counselors that masturbating too often might affect sperm production and could cause a burning feeling during urination. Could you let me know what you think? I'd really like to understand if there are any long-term health implications of doing it regularly. Also, please keep this conversation private between us. I'm just trying to be proactive about my health.
Well sir masturbation is a normal physiological process and it's healthy as long as you are not obssessed to it or it disrupts your normal life...So just keep it in limits.
