Im a 25-year-old male, weighing 40 kg, and Ive been dealing with something that's been really bothering me. Every night, I find myself experiencing nightfall, with sperm leakage while I sleep. I also have a problem with urinary incontinence. After I use the bathroom, even when I think I've finished urinating, a few drops just come out without me noticing until it's too late. Im having a hard time controlling myself when I feel the sudden urge to urinate. Can you help me understand what might be going on?

The "tube" you're feeling is likely the carotid artery.

A slightly larger carotid artery on one side is usually normal.

Possible causes of a larger carotid artery include:

Genetic variation Age-related changes Increased blood pressure

Swollen lymph nodes or tumors are less likely without other symptoms.

Consult a doctor for a professional evaluation and peace of mind.

I'm really concerned because I've noticed that whenever I suddenly cough while talking, I end up having urine leaks. It's really embarrassing and I'm not sure what I can do about it. Can you suggest any ways to help reduce this?

Urine routine and microscopy and x-ray chest pa view is advised to the patient.

I'm experiencing some pain in my right testicle along with a bit of swelling and tenderness. It's not there all the time and I can handle it, but it gets painful when I touch the area where the veins connect to the testicle. It feels like something isn't quite right. Can you please give me some advice on what this might be?

You may be experiencing epididymitis, which is inflammation of the epididymis, the coiled tube located behind the testicle that stores and carries sperm. This condition can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the testicle. I recommend you to take an antibiotic such as Ciprofloxacin to treat the infection. Additionally, you can take Ibuprofen as needed for pain and inflammation. Make sure to rest, wear supportive underwear, and apply ice packs to the area to help with swelling and discomfort. If your symptoms worsen or do not improve, please follow up with a healthcare provider for further evaluation.
