    • 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:

I'm 19 and I've recently stopped watching porn and masturbating. However, since then, I've been experiencing nightfall almost every day. Is there a way to address this issue or something I'm missing? I'm really looking for some advice here.

It's normal to experience nightfall (nocturnal emissions) during adolescence, especially after changes in sexual habits. It usually resolves on its own over time. However, maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular sleep, stress management, and avoiding overstimulation can help reduce frequency. If it continues or concerns you, a visit to a doctor might provide further reassurance.

I'm really struggling with balanitis, and I've tried clotrimazole, ketoconazole, and onabet without much success. Do you have any other suggestions or treatments that might be more effective? I'm concerned nothing is working, and I could really use some help on what to try next.

For balanitis that is not responding to clotrimazole, ketoconazole, or onabet, you can try using Terbinafine cream. Apply Terbinafine cream twice daily on the affected area for 2-4 weeks. Additionally, you can take an oral antifungal medication like Fluconazole 150mg once a week for 4 weeks. Make sure to keep the affected area clean and dry, and avoid any potential irritants.

I'm a 33-year-old guy, and I've been struggling with premature ejaculation that's really impacting my relationship with my wife. I'm really eager to find remedies that can cure this problem quickly and permanently. Can alternative medicines be effective for this? I need to improve fast because it's taking a toll on my marriage.

Premature ejaculation (PE) can be treated through a combination of behavioral therapy, medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), and exercises like the "stop-start" method. While alternative medicines like herbal remedies may provide temporary relief, consulting with a doctor for a personalized treatment plan is key to achieving long-term results.
