So my husband's sperm count came back as nil after his recent test, and we're quite concerned about this. The volume is measured at 2ml, and the viscosity seems normal. However, the report mentioned the presence of 45 pus cells and prostatic cells. I'm really worried about whether this means he can still become a father. Can you help us understand what might be going on and if there's anything we can do?

A nil sperm count, also known as azoospermia, can make it difficult to conceive naturally. However, there are treatment options available. Your husband may benefit from a consultation with a doctor specializing in male fertility. In cases of azoospermia, medications such as Clomiphene or hormonal treatments like Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (HCG) may be prescribed to help increase sperm production. Additionally, surgical procedures like Testicular Sperm Extraction (TESE) or Percutaneous Epididymal Sperm Aspiration (PESA) can be considered to retrieve sperm for assisted reproductive techniques like Intrauterine Insemination (IUI) or In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). It's important to consult with a specialist to determine the most suitable treatment plan based on your husband's specific condition.

I have a 19mm stone in my right kidney but the measurements say 18.89.213.7mm. Can you clarify if it's actually 19mm or 13.7mm? Is there any way to shrink or dissolve this stone with medication alone, or will I definitely need surgery?

Mostly will need to remove the stone endoscopically
