I've discovered a lump or boil on my testicles, and it's really hard and painful. Should I be considering antibiotics for this, or is there something else I need to do? I'm pretty concerned about it.

I'm looking for some advice. Can I have sex with my partner using Viagra or a similar medication on the day her egg ruptures for pregnancy? Last time, we missed that crucial day because of performance stress. Also, I'm wondering, does using Viagra affect the quantity or quality of sperm in any way?

Taking Viagra should have no effect on sperm qualitymorphology. You can use it during your partner's ovulation period safely. If your erectile dysfunction persists or worsens, it may be advisable to consult a specialist.

I'm really concerned about my urine test results. It shows pus cells at 24 hpf, epithelial cells at 35 hpf, and ketones are present, but everything else seems normal. What does this mean exactly? Should I be worried about these numbers?
