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.
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
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've had varicocele for about a year now and it's really affecting my daily life - can't sit comfortably or ride without pain kicking in sometimes. Is there any way to manage this or get rid of it without needing surgery? What would you suggest for relief?

I'm having some white discharge from my penis every morning and I'm really worried. There's no pain, but I'm not sure what's going on. Can you suggest any medication to help with this?
The elevated ESR (Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate) levels indicate inflammation in the body. Joint pains, leg pains, and finger pains suggest an inflammatory condition, such as Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) or Osteoarthritis (OA). Normal sugar test results rule out diabetes as a cause for the symptoms. Consult a Rheumatologist for further evaluation and diagnosis. They may recommend additional tests, such as CRP, RF, and ANA, to determine the underlying cause. Treatment will depend on the diagnosis, but may include anti-inflammatory medications, pain management, and lifestyle modifications.

Is circumcision really necessary to prevent infections and improve sexual health I'm worried about the procedure and how it might affect me
Circumcision can offer benefits in preventing certain infections and improving sexual health, but it's not a universal necessity. It's generally recommended for those in areas with high HIV prevalence and can lower the risk of penile cancer and urinary tract infections. However, there are also potential risks associated with the procedure, and the decision to circumcise should be made on a case-by-case basis after considering individual factors and consulting with a healthcare provider.
