I'm worried because my sperm liquefaction time is over an hour. Everything else in my sperm report looks normal, but I'm concerned this might be affecting my wife's ability to conceive. Do you have any advice on how I can reduce the liquefaction time?

Liquefaction time is a measure of the time it takes for the semen to liquefy.semen liquefaction should take 20-30 minutes. With liquefaction time, infection and dehydration could be the cause of liquefaction.... If it's dehydration you don'tworry... If it's due to infection it has to be treated...

I'm noticing that my left testis goes up when I'm pooping and it feels kind of different during that time. Sometimes I even see sperm in the toilet. Is there something I should be worried about?

My dad is 76 and has had prostate urine problems for 2 months. The doctor said his prostate is enlarged to 50cc but his PSA levels are normal. He's not ready for surgery because he's stressed about it. What medicines can help shrink his prostate size or are there other options we should consider

For a 76-year-old with an enlarged prostate (50cc) and normal PSA, medical management is a good first step. Alpha-blockers like tamsulosin can help relieve urinary symptoms, and 5-alpha-reductase inhibitors like finasteride or dutasteride may help reduce prostate size over time. Minimally invasive procedures are also an option if medication fails and surgery is not preferred.
