I'm really struggling with erectile dysfunction and it's starting to ruin my marriage. It wasn't such a big deal at first, but it just hasn't gone away. We've been married for four years now and it's gotten to the point where we don't even have any intimacy anymore because of this. What should I do? Can you help?

Erectile dysfunction (ED) can be emotionally challenging, especially in a marital context; consider consulting a urologist or a sex therapist to address underlying causes, which may include physical factors (e.g., diabetes, hypertension), psychological factors (e.g., anxiety, depression), or lifestyle factors (e.g., smoking, obesity); counseling and therapy can also help you and your partner reconnect and strengthen your relationship.

I'm dealing with some issues with my foreskin and I'm not really sure who the right doctor is to talk to about it. Should I be looking to see a dermatologist, a urologist, or maybe even a sexologist? I'm feeling a bit uncertain and could really use some advice on who might be the best specialist to consult for this kind of problem.

For foreskin problems, it's best to consult a urologist. They specialize in issues related to the urinary tract and male reproductive system, including foreskin concerns. If there are skin-related issues, a dermatologist may also be helpful. A sexologist is more suited for concerns related to sexual health and performance.

I'm trying to understand more about semen analysis. Can you explain what it's all about and how it's actually done? What's the purpose of it, and are there any side effects I should know about? Also, what's the typical cost and how long does it usually take?

Semen analysis is a non-invasive test to evaluate male fertility. It assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors. There are no significant side effects, but some men might feel anxious.
