  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 having this really sharp pain every time I pee, like it feels like my clitoris is about to explode. The pain is so intense around that area and my lower abdomen, but it goes away pretty quickly. Theres still some mild pain in my abdomen even after Im done. What could be causing this?

This could be a sign of a urinary tract infection (UTI). I recommend taking an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin. Additionally, you can take Phenazopyridine, to help relieve the pain and discomfort while urinating. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the bacteria causing the infection. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation.

Had surgery for primary obstructive mega ureter two months ago where they also removed two stones. Still have five stones left in my kidney, and recovery's been rough. Now they found a urethral stricture and dilated it two weeks back. Should I be worried about the remaining stones or the stricture coming back? What's the next step here?
