The incubation period (time of exposure to time symptoms begin) varies with the microbe. In general, common urinary tract infections with colonizing bacteria, like E. coli, varies from about three to eight days.

Does having agglutination in a semen test mean its harder to get pregnant, and is it something we should be worried about? We've been trying to conceive for about five months now, and I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for our chances. What should we do next?

The presence of agglutination in a semen analysis may indicate an issue with sperm motility, as it suggests that sperm are clumping together. While this can potentially affect fertility, it is not always a major problem. I recommend consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and guidance, as other factors also play a role in conception.

Ive been noticing some swelling on the lower left side of my waist whenever I eat or drink water, or even when I try to hold in my urine. It's kind of worrying me because there's no pain involved. Could you shed some light on what this might be and what kind of treatment I should consider?

The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.
