  1. Consistency of Healthy Sperm:

    • Healthy sperm typically has a thick, gel-like consistency initially.
    • It becomes more liquid or runny after a short time due to enzyme activity.
  2. Variations and Concerns:

    • Consistently runny semen might indicate a lower sperm count or other issues.
    • Occasional variations in consistency can be normal.
  3. Recommendation:

    • If concerned about sperm quality or fertility, consult a healthcare professional or urologist for personalized advice and potential testing.

I'm really starting to worry about this sharp pain in my lower left abdomen that spreads towards my groin. The ultrasound showed a 5.9 mm stone in my left mid ureter, around the L5S1 level, and there's some mild hydronephrosis in my left kidney with the upper ureter being dilated. A urologist suggested urgent ureteroscopy, but I decided to try some home remedies instead. After about ten days, I had another ultrasound and it seems like the stone is now in the lower ureter just below where the iliac vessels cross, but there's still mild hydronephrosis and this proximal hydroureter situation going on. I'm really hoping to avoid surgery if possible and would prefer to try medication. Is that a viable option, or should I prepare for the ureteroscopy?

Severe mouth ulcers can be painful and frustrating. Given your current treatment, here are some additional suggestions: *Additional Remedies* 1. *Topical anesthetics*: Apply a topical anesthetic like Orajel or Lidocaine to numb the area and reduce pain. 2. *Antimicrobial mouthwash*: Use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to reduce bacterial growth and promote healing. 3. *Aloe vera gel*: Apply aloe vera gel to the affected area to reduce inflammation and promote healing. 4. *Vitamin C supplements*: Take vitamin C supplements to boost your immune system and promote collagen synthesis. *Dietary Changes* 1. *Soft food diet*: Stick to a soft food diet to minimize irritation and discomfort. 2. *Avoid spicy and acidic foods*: Avoid consuming spicy, acidic, or sharp foods that can irritate the ulcer. 3. *Stay hydrated*: Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist and promote healing. *Medical Consultation* If your mouth ulcer doesn't show signs of improvement within the next 2-3 days, consult your doctor or a dentist for further evaluation and treatment. They may prescribe additional medications or treatments to promote healing.

I've been feeling really anxious lately because after masturbating a few days back, my penis and testicles suddenly felt numb the next day. I went to see a doctor, and they checked everything and said there's no issue, but I'm still worried because it feels like my testes are kind of lifeless. Can someone tell me what might be going on?
