I've been noticing some discomfort around my belly button, and there's this small lump right over it. When I press on it, it seems to go in but then it comes back after a bit. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Any idea what might be going on?

Pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) may contain sperm.
Although the urethra is flushed with urine, residual sperm can remain.
Studies show:
- 17-37% of pre-cum samples contain sperm
- Sperm can survive in the urethra for up to 24 hours
However, the likelihood of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low.
To minimize risk, use protection or practice withdrawal with caution.

View allFound a 2.9mm gallstone during a scan but I have zero symptoms do I really need surgery right away? Just wondering if it can wait or if there are other options since it's not causing any issues
A 2.9mm gallstone that's asymptomatic doesn't typically require immediate surgery. Small gallstones often pass without causing problems, and surgery is usually recommended when symptoms develop or there's a high risk of complications. You can discuss your options with your doctor, who may recommend monitoring the stone's size and location with follow-up scans
