I'm a bit worried because I've been experiencing early discharge of semen fluid recently, and I've also noticed that my penis size seems to shrink when I provide a sperm sample. Additionally, my results showed that I have reduced active sperm motility at 25 and there are 68 pus cells present under HPF. I'm really concerned about what all this means and what I should do next.
