I'm a 29-year-old guy and haven't been sexually active since 2014, and when I did, it was with protection. But I do masturbate regularly, probably around 2-3 times a week. Lately, I've noticed this clear, jelly-like substance at the tip of my penis during urination that has no particular smell, but it does burn a bit. This happened once before, about 20-25 days ago, and I brushed it off. There's no swelling or other symptoms, but it's kinda worrying me. Could you shed some light on what this jelly-like stuff might be and whether it's cool to have unprotected sex in the future?

My husband has been diagnosed with a varicocele and his sperm count is low. We're trying to conceive but having trouble. The doctor mentioned surgery as an option but we're wondering if there are other treatments that don't involve surgery. Can you look at his test reports and suggest what we should do next?

I've been diagnosed with varicocele and considering microsurgery can it actually cure the condition? Also, I've heard varicocele might mess with hormones could that be why I'm dealing with constant anxiety, confusion, and other weird symptoms? Are these things connected?

I've been masturbating for the past 6 years without actually removing my clothes, like on my underwear. Is there any chance this could lead to an infection?

Masturbating in this manner may increase the risk of developing a genital infection due to the warm and moist environment created by the underwear. It is important to maintain good hygiene practices to reduce the risk of infection. You can use antifungal creams like Clotrimazole 1% cream to prevent or treat any potential fungal infections.
