I've recently gotten my semen analysis results back and everything seems normal except for my PUS cell count, which is at 57 hpf, while the epithelial count is only present in small amounts. Could this high PUS cell count be affecting my fertility? My wife and I are having trouble conceiving, and I'm wondering if this might be the issue. Should I see a doctor for this, or can taking a good antibiotic help resolve it?

Your semen analysis shows a slightly elevated pus cell count (5-7hpf), which may indicate a mild infection or inflammation. This alone might not directly affect fertility, but its worth consulting a doctor to rule out any underlying issues. A targeted antibiotic course, if needed, could help, but additional tests might be required to assess other fertility factors for both you and your wife.

View allI've had phimosis since I was born and I'm really worried about it. Is there any way to treat it without going through surgery? I'm not sure what options are out there and I'd like to avoid an operation if possible. Can you suggest any non-surgical treatments that actually work?
Phimosis can be treated with steroid creams like betamethasone plus stretching; if no improvement in weeks, circumcision is safest permanent option.

I'm feeling this strange heaviness in both of my kidneys over the past week. I had a shockwave treatment for kidney stones in my right kidney about 1.5 months ago. There's no pain, no blood in my urine, and no signs of infection, but this heaviness is bothering me. I usually drink alcohol about three times a weekcould that be causing it? I'm really not sure what's going on, and any advice or suggestions you have would really help.
Firstly please cut down on your alcohol content because it is like poison for your kidneys. Even if you take all the medicines prescribed to you properly, the alcohol will negate their effect.

I've been dealing with UTI issues again. I had one back in November 2016 and took norflox then, and it cleared up. This time, the problem started on April 3rd, and I took norflox for 5 days along with citralka syrup. It got better, but then it came back after just 2 days. Now it's continuing every day. What should I do? Is there something different I should try or be concerned about?
Recurring UTI symptoms despite antibiotic treatment, including norflox, suggest a possible underlying issue, such as antibiotic resistance, incomplete treatment, or an underlying anatomical or functional abnormality; consider consulting a urologist
