I've been noticing some discomfort around my belly button, and there's this small lump right over it. When I press on it, it seems to go in but then it comes back after a bit. I'm a bit worried about what this could be. Any idea what might be going on?

Pre-ejaculate fluid (pre-cum) may contain sperm. Although the urethra is flushed with urine, residual sperm can remain. Studies show: - 17-37% of pre-cum samples contain sperm - Sperm can survive in the urethra for up to 24 hours However, the likelihood of pregnancy from pre-cum is relatively low. To minimize risk, use protection or practice withdrawal with caution.

Had laser surgery for pilonidal sinus a month ago but now there's pus and pain in the same spot again. Does this mean the surgery didn't work? What are my options for a permanent fix?
