I'm looking at my semen analysis report and I'm a bit concerned about the results. It says my progressive motile sperm count is 30, non-progressive motile count is 25, and in total, the motile sperm count is 45. I'm wondering if these numbers are okay when trying to have a baby with my wife, or if I should be consulting a doctor to work on increasing that progressive motile count. Is a count of 30 generally good enough for us to conceive, or is there something I should be doing?

WHO standards place desired progressive motility count at 32%. Overall motility at 40%. It may be advisable to visit a sexual health consultant and obtain a more detailed treatment plan.

I'm a virgin and I've noticed some rashes on my foreskin along with a swollen tip of my penis. There's no itching, pain, or discomfort though. Could you tell me what might be going on?

During erection my foreskin sticks to the glans and only goes just below the head. I've heard steroid cream might help would that work for me? I don't feel pain during full erection, but the foreskin stays stuck below the glans. Also, when I masturbate, no semen comes out. Can this be fixed without surgery? Is this phimosis?

surgery opinion is advised to the patient.
