Question 1

I'm noticing that my penis sometimes shrinks in the middle and looks kind of out of proportion. It's strange because I haven't had any kind of sexual experience, although I do masturbate. This happens either after I masturbate, before taking a hot shower, or just randomly during the day when I look at it. But whenever I get an erection, everything seems normal. It's only an issue when it's flaccid. Is this something I should be worried about? Could masturbation be causing damage, or is this just a normal thing? I'm really hoping for some advice.

Accepted Answer

It sounds like you're experiencing temporary changes in the size and appearance of your penis when flaccid, which is completely normal. The size can vary due to factors like temperature, arousal, or even anxiety. Masturbation does not cause permanent damage; if you're concerned, it's always a good idea to consult a healthcare provider for reassurance and guidance.

Question 2

I've recently gotten my semen analysis results back and everything seems normal except for my PUS cell count, which is at 57 hpf, while the epithelial count is only present in small amounts. Could this high PUS cell count be affecting my fertility? My wife and I are having trouble conceiving, and I'm wondering if this might be the issue. Should I see a doctor for this, or can taking a good antibiotic help resolve it?

Accepted Answer

Your semen analysis shows a slightly elevated pus cell count (5-7hpf), which may indicate a mild infection or inflammation. This alone might not directly affect fertility, but its worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. A targeted antibiotic course, if needed, could help, but additional tests might be required to assess other fertility factors for both you and your wife.

Question 3

I'm dealing with epididymitis that I found out about a month ago. I started antibiotics back then and the swelling went down a bit. Then my doctor switched me to a milder antibiotic, but after a week, the swelling didn't go away and actually got worse, turning into a hydrocele. So my doctor put me back on the old antibiotics. I've got a bunch of questions on my mind. Is epididymitis something that can actually be cured? And if so, how long should I expect it to take? What kind of care should I be taking, like should I change my diet or exercise routine? Is jogging, running, or hitting the gym something I can do? Are there specific foods or activities I need to steer clear of? Could this condition affect my sexual or married life? What precautions should I be taking? How about personal care, any specific things I need to focus on? Also, my doctor prescribed tablets that cost 100 Rs each; do antibiotics really cost that much?
