I'm a bit confused and worried about something that's been happening during sex with my wife. After intercourse, I notice this thread-like sticky substance coming from my penis, and I'm trying to figure out if it's sperm or just precum because my penis becomes smaller and slips out afterwards. I'm 42 and not sure if this is normal or something I should be worried about. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Based on your description, it sounds like ejaculation occurred, as the sticky thread-like fluid coming from your penis likely contains both sperm and seminal fluid. Precum typically appears before ejaculation and may not always contain sperm, but during ejaculation, sperm is released. If you have concerns about fertility or reproductive health, it's best to consult a doctor for evaluation.

I recently realized I have an undescended right testicle I can feel it just above the penis on that side. Is it still possible to descend the testicle at my age? If surgery is an option, how do I bring this up with my parents? Also, will having one testicle affect my sperm count or sexual health in the long run? Can I still have a normal sex life with just one?

Yes, surgery (orchiopexy) may still be an option depending on your age and the position of the testicle—consult a urologist for evaluation. It’s best to discuss this openly with your parents as it’s a common condition. Having one healthy testicle is usually enough for normal sperm production and sexual function. Most men with one testicle lead a completely normal sex life and can father children.

I've been experiencing some troubling symptoms after I masturbate. My penis starts hurting, and it feels like I need to pee, but nothing happens when I try. Lately, I've noticed my endurance during masturbation has gone down too. I end up feeling weak and sore all over the next day. A few days ago, I even felt a burning sensation under the skin of my penis. I'm really worried and not sure what's going on. Can you help?

These symptoms may indicate an underlying infection or inflammation. I recommend you take an over-the-counter pain reliever like acetaminophen to help with the pain and inflammation. Additionally, you should apply a topical antibiotic cream like Neosporin on the burned area of your penis to prevent infection. It is important to drink plenty of water to help with urination and flush out any potential infection. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and treatment.
