My foreskin is really tight and sealed, and the tip stays very narrow and closed no matter what. From what I've read online, it sounds like phimosis. I don't have any pain when peeing though. Who should I see about this and what's the usual treatment? Would I need surgery right away?

If you're uncircumcised and your foreskin is too tight, you may have phimosis. While symptoms may be uncomfortable, you can treat phimosis with topical medications or it may go away with age. Usually, the foreskin of an uncircumcised penis can be pulled back from the head (glans) of the penis

I'm a bit worried about my recent urine test results. It says there are 50 leukocytes in my urine. Does this indicate a mild, medium, or high infection? And should I be concerned about whether the infection is mild or severe? Got a test report too, if that helps. Would appreciate any advice.

I'm trying to understand more about semen analysis. Can you explain what it's all about and how it's actually done? What's the purpose of it, and are there any side effects I should know about? Also, what's the typical cost and how long does it usually take?

Semen analysis is a non-invasive test to evaluate male fertility. It assesses sperm count, motility, morphology, and other factors. There are no significant side effects, but some men might feel anxious.
