I'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.

Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.

View allI'm dealing with a kidney stone that's 11mm on the left side, and my doctors suggested going for Laser Surgery RIRS. I'm just wondering if lithotripsy is a possible option for my situation instead?
Lithotripsy can be a suitable option for treating kidney stones, including stones of 11mm size. Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) is a non-invasive procedure that uses shock waves to break down the kidney stones into smaller pieces that can be passed out in the urine. However, the effectiveness of lithotripsy depends on the composition and location of the stone. It is best to consult with your doctor to determine the most appropriate treatment option for your specific case.

I've lost about 3 kg this week, but I'm a bit concerned because whenever I'm cycling, it feels like my private area goes numb. I'm also taking Lippo 6 Black as a fat burner. Can you tell me what's going on and what I should do?
