  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 experiencing this weird sensation todayit's like a soft, rhythmic buzzing at the tip or root of my penis, almost like a phone vibrating. It's not painful but quite persistent. My mom passed away on February 24th, and I've been taking care of her for the last couple of weeks. I'm worried I might have caught some kind of infection, although there's no pain, itching, or burning. Could this be something I should be concerned about?

provided you don't have any symptoms other than this buzzing sensation, which doesn't have any proper medical disease. This buzzing sensation can be due to stress,, probably because of losing your mother. Try to manage your stress by meditation or pranayama,, visit psychiatrist if problem persists.

I'm really worried about my penis because it seems like it's crossing or bending in a way that's not normal. Can you please tell me what I can do about this? Is there something specific I can use or any advice you have?

I've been having this weird vibration feeling at the tip of my penis since yesterday and sometimes there's this inflammation after peeing. Not too long ago, I was treated for a burning sensation during urination and I took some antibiotics like ceftum and cefixime, but they haven't helped much yet. I've also been feeling some pain in my lower abdomen and back. What do you think I should do?

You may be experiencing symptoms of a urinary tract infection or a sexually transmitted infection. I recommend you start taking a combination of antibiotics such as "Doxycycline" along with "Metronidazole" under the guidance of a specialist. Additionally, you can take "Ibuprofen" 400mg three times a day for pain relief. Make sure to drink plenty of water to help flush out the infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
