My report shows a solitary intraluminal mobile calculus with posterior acoustic shadowing measuring 10.9mm should I be worried about this? Does this mean I'll need surgery to remove it or can it pass on its own?

I'm a bit confused about the timing of precum and sperm during ejaculation. Does precum always come out before sperm, or can sperm be released before precum too? Also, is it possible for precum to be released after sperm? I'm trying to understand how it works.

Precum, also known as pre-ejaculate, is a clear, colorless fluid that is released from the male urethra during sexual arousal. It is produced by the Cowper's glands and serves to lubricate the urethra and neutralize any acidity from previous urine. Precum can be released before ejaculation, during sexual activity, or even without sexual stimulation. Sperm, on the other hand, is the reproductive fluid that contains sperm cells and is released during ejaculation. Sperm is produced in the testes and stored in the epididymis until ejaculation occurs. In the normal sequence of events during sexual activity, precum is usually the first fluid to be released, followed by the release of sperm during ejaculation. However, it is possible for sperm to be released first, especially if there is residual sperm in the urethra from a previous ejaculation, and precum to be released afterwards. It is important to note that precum itself can contain sperm, although the concentration is generally lower compared to ejaculated sperm. Therefore, it is still possible to conceive from precum if it contains sperm. If you have concerns about fertility or sexual health, it is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

My 73-year-old father has phimosis, and his urologist recommended circumcision mainly for hygiene and to prevent future infections. He's had diabetes for 26 years but it's well-controlled (HBA1C 6.6), and his BP is stable. The doctor suggested conventional surgery under local anesthesia but didn't mention laser surgery. I'm trying to understand the pros and cons of both methods conventional cutting vs laser especially for someone his age with diabetes. Which one would be safer or more recommended in his case?

I was diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele back in 2018 and have been using a supporter regularly since then. Some days I get slight pain in my scrotum, maybe once a month should I consider surgery or is there another way to manage this?

Grade 2 varicocele can be managed conservatively unless pain or infertility occurs—then surgery is advised.
