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.

I'm wondering if Viagra can help with ejaculation issues, particularly when trying to conceive. I'm also curious if there's a version of Viagra that might help with anxiety, maybe just for a one-time use. Can you give some advice on this?

I've been noticing a white layer forming under the skin of my penis for the past week. The skin feels tighter than usual, and it's becoming difficult to pull it back. Should I be concerned about this? What could be causing it, and how do I treat it?

You may have a yeast infection or balanitis. I recommend using an antifungal cream like Clotrimazole 1% cream. Apply a thin layer twice a day for about 1-2 weeks. Make sure to keep the area clean and dry. If the symptoms persist or worsen, please consult a doctor for further evaluation and management.

I'm noticing that when I pee, there are two streamsone's stronger and the other's weaker. This causes a lot of spraying, but there's no pain or burning. I'm trying to figure out what's going on. Could this be something I should be worried about?

The presence of two streams of urine, with one being weaker, and spraying, without pain or burning sensation, could be indicative of a urethral stricture, bladder neck contracture, or a condition called urethral duplication, but it's essential to consult a urologist
