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.

View allHow can you tell the difference between congenital phimosis and adult-onset phimosis? Also, does having phimosis mean someone is impotent? And is there a way to treat congenital phimosis without needing surgery, maybe using something like betamethasone cream?
Congenital phimosis is present from birth, where the foreskin cannot be retracted due to a tight opening, while phimosis in adults often develops due to scarring or infection. Phimosis is not considered impotence, as it primarily affects the foreskin's ability to retract, not erectile function. Betamethasone cream can be effective in mild cases of congenital phimosis by reducing inflammation and allowing easier retraction, but surgery may still be required for more severe cases.

I've been having some issues with my sperm as it discharges too quickly and it's not strong on the bottom side. I usually masturbate about twice a week. Is that not good for my health? I'm worried and would love to hear your advice.
Sounds like you may be experiencing issues with premature ejaculation and weak ejaculation force. To help improve your condition, you can try taking a medication called **Dapoxetine**. Additionally, you can also consider taking **L-Arginine** supplements to help improve sperm quality and strength. Remember to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication.

Where does sperm go after vasectomy?
The sperm, which are made in the testicles, cannot pass through the vas deferens once they have been cut and tied, so they are reabsorbed by the body.
