I had a circumcision done about 3 weeks ago and it seems like it's healed. I'm wondering if it's okay for me to have intercourse now? How long should I wait before it's safe to do so after the procedure?

It's great to hear that your circumcision has healed. Typically, it's recommended to wait around 4 to 6 weeks after the procedure to ensure full healing before engaging in intercourse. However, if you're feeling comfortable and have no pain or discomfort, it's a good idea to consult with your doctor to ensure everything is healing well before proceeding.

I've just got my semen analysis results, and it shows pus cells in my semen at a level of 3045. I'm trying to figure out what could be causing this. On the results, my sperm count is 36 million, morphology is at 70%, and everything else seems to be within the normal range. Could you help me understand what's going on and what kind of treatment I might need?

The presence of pus in your semen, also known as pyospermia, can be caused by various factors, including prostatitis, epididymitis, urethritis, or a urinary tract infection (UTI), and despite your relatively normal semen analysis parameters (sperm count, morphology), it's essential to consult a urologist

I'm curious about recovery after my varicocele and hydrocele surgery done on January 3rd. When is it safe to get back to normal sexual activities like having sex or masturbating? I'm a bit worried about doing anything too soon.
