  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 noticed a lump in my left testicle and after looking it up online I think it might be varicocele It doesn't hurt but feels uncomfortable Do I really need surgery for this and if so how long can I wait before getting it treated Im 22 and a bit worried about what to do next

Any time you find a lump in your testicle or scrotum, you should have it checked by your doctor as soon as possible. However, if the lump you're feeling is in fact a varicocele, it likely won't cause pain. While varicocele pain is not common, it can occur, especially as the varicocele becomes larger.
