I've noticed there's blood in my semen and it's got me a bit worried. I did a urine culture, semen analysis, and semen culture; everything came back negative except they found pus cells between 20 to 25 in the semen analysis. Is this something I should be concerned about, like an infection, or is it something normal?

Pus cells found in semen analysis indicate the presence of infection. To treat this infection, you can take antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I'm having trouble with getting a proper erection, and my penis takes a while to get hard. Even when it does, it's not the firmness I'd expect. Plus, I'm experiencing quick discharge during sex with my partner, which is really causing me some embarrassment. I'm feeling quite ashamed and would appreciate any advice or solutions you might have.

-I'm really sorry you're feeling this way, but don't be ashamed. It's common for men to experience issues with erections or premature ejaculation at times. Stress, anxiety, and other factors can contribute to this, so I recommend speaking with a healthcar

I'm having this issue where every time I drink milk, about 10 or 20 minutes later, I have to pee and then it's like every 10 minutes after that, I feel this really strong urge to go again, sometimes like 3 or 4 times. It's pretty intense and I'm not sure if it's normal. Could this be something to worry about?

Your symptoms of frequent urination with full pressure after consuming milk may indicate lactose intolerance, as the body is unable to digest lactose, leading to increased water absorption and urine production; ry reducing or avoiding lactose-containing products or switching to lactose-free or low-lactose alternatives.
