I have a varicose vein in my left scrotum and have been trying for a baby for the past 4 years. My semen test shows pus cells at 2025 hpf and motility is 30, but my wife's tests are all normal. Should I consider getting varicose vein surgery to improve my chances?

I'm dealing with a bit of an issue. I masturbate every day, and sometimes my penis gets really dry, especially after going at it continuously. After I ejaculate, it becomes quite painful, almost unbearable for a moment, and occasionally I notice some urine leakage. The pain doesn't last long, but it's pretty intense, and my penis feels numb afterward. It just doesn't feel right. What could be causing this, and should I be concerned?

I've been noticing a white layer forming under the skin of my penis for the past week. The skin feels tighter than usual, and it's becoming difficult to pull it back. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and how do I treat it?

You may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I've noticed these tiny black dots in my semen over the past couple of weeks, and I'm a bit concerned. I haven't experienced any pain or allergies, and this has never happened before. I'm married, so I'm just trying to figure out if this is something to worry about. Any ideas on what might be causing this?
