  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've been noticing that I get a cut on the upper skin of my penis every time I have sex or masturbate. It's just at the tip and sometimes it itches with a small drop of blood showing up. I've tried so many ointments but nothing seems to work. I'm 45 and this whole situation is really affecting my sex life. Can you please help me figure out what might be going on?

That needs evaluation and physical examinantion,visit surgeon for the same and appropriate management

I'm curious about something that's been on my mind. I've been masturbating daily for a while now, and I noticed that my sperm used to be thicker a few months ago, but now it seems more watery. I'm a bit worried about whether this could lead to any problems in the future. What issues might it cause, and how can I address this change?

Fever can be uncomfortable. _Pacimol (Paracetamol) dosage:_ 1. _Adult dosage_: 500-1000 mg every 4-6 hours, not exceeding 4000 mg in 24 hours. 2. _Minimum gap_: Wait at least 4-6 hours before taking another dose. _In your case:_ 1. _You can take another dose_: Since it's been 4 hours since your last dose, you can take another 650 mg of Pacimol. 2. _Monitor your fever_: Keep track of your temperature and consult a doctor if your fever persists or worsens. 3. _Stay hydrated_: Drink plenty of fluids to help your body recover from the fever. _Remember:_ 1. _Don't exceed the maximum dosage_: Avoid taking more than 4000 mg of Pacimol in 24 hours. 2. _Consult a doctor if necessary_: If your fever persists, worsens, or is accompanied by other concerning symptoms, seek medical attention.
