I'm a bit worried because my serum creatinine level came back as 1.5 in my report. Does this mean something's wrong? I saw a urologist, but they didn't mention anything about it. Should I be concerned?

A serum creatinine level of 1.5 mgdL is slightly elevated, as the normal range is typically 0.6-1.2 mgdL, but it's not alarmingly high; the urologist might not have flagged it as abnormal since it's mildly elevated, but it's essential to monitor kidney function and recheck creatinine levels to ensure it doesn't indicate underlying kidney issues.

Does having agglutination in a semen test mean its harder to get pregnant, and is it something we should be worried about? We've been trying to conceive for about five months now, and I'm a bit concerned about what this might mean for our chances. What should we do next?
The presence of agglutination in a semen analysis may indicate an issue with sperm motility, as it suggests that sperm are clumping together. While this can potentially affect fertility, it is not always a major problem. I recommend consulting a fertility specialist for further evaluation and guidance, as other factors also play a role in conception.

Every time I have sex with my wife, I end up with cuts on my foreskin. It's the same problem after I masturbate too. It's really painful, and the itching while they heal is driving me crazy. Could you recommend a cream or ointment that'll help with this?
You may be experiencing some irritation or friction during sexual activity leading to cuts on your foreskin. I recommend using an over-the-counter antibiotic ointment like Neosporin or Bacitracin. Apply a thin layer of the ointment on the cuts twice a day after gently cleaning the area with mild soap and water. Additionally, you can also use a soothing cream like Aloe Vera gel to help with the healing process and reduce itching. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry to prevent infection.
