  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 worried because I've been masturbating for about 5 years, and now my penis looks different, kind of out of shape. I'm not sure if this will affect my ability to have kids in the future once I get married. On top of that, my legs have gotten really thin, and I feel pain in all my joints. My testicles are also quite painful. Did I somehow damage my penis? Could you help me understand what's going on?

Masturbation itself does not typically cause permanent damage to the penis or reproductive health; however, your symptoms, such as penis shape concerns, joint pain, thin legs, and testicular pain, may be related to other factors, including over-masturbation, which can lead to temporary issues like fatigue, muscle strain, or inflammation; consider consulting a urologist

I've been noticing a slight whitish scum that builds up under the foreskin around the base of the head of my penis. It seems to accumulate and I usually find it when I pull the skin back during cleaning. I'm not sure what this is, and I'm wondering if there's any treatment or something specific I should do about it. Can you offer some advice?

Leaving the Hospital and Homeopathic Treatment_ 1. _Medical supervision_: Since you've been hospitalized for severe pain and diagnosed with a kidney stone, it's essential to complete your treatment under medical supervision. 2. _Stone size reduction_: The reduction in stone size from 5.7mm to 3mm is a positive sign. However, it's crucial to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 3. _Homeopathic treatment_: While some homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta (Bryophyllum pinnatum), may be suggested for kidney stone treatment, there is limited scientific evidence to support their effectiveness. Consult your doctor before adding any homeopathic remedies to your treatment plan. _Risks of Leaving the Hospital Prematurely_ 1. _Pain recurrence_: If the stone doesn't pass or is not properly treated, pain can recur. 2. _Infection or complications_: Untreated kidney stones can lead to infections, blockages, or other complications. 3. _Delayed treatment_: Leaving the hospital prematurely might delay necessary treatment, potentially leading to more severe consequences. _Recommendation_ 1. _Complete your hospital treatment_: Finish your treatment under medical supervision to ensure the stone passes safely and doesn't cause further complications. 2. _Consult your doctor about homeopathic remedies_: Discuss the potential benefits and risks of adding homeopathic remedies, like Patharchatta, to your treatment plan. 3. _Follow-up appointments_: Schedule follow-up appointments with your doctor to monitor your condition and adjust your treatment plan as needed.
