I recently had my sperm count checked, and the results showed 80 million, but only 20 are rapidly progressive. I'm currently taking Paternia VigorexSF and FertylM to help improve motility. Is this the right approach, or should I be considering something else?
Paternia+ contains antioxidants and micronutrients to support sperm production, Vigorex-SF contains L-carnitine and coenzyme Q10 to enhance sperm motility, and Fertyl-M contains clomiphene citrate to improve fertility. It is a good combination to improve your sperm parameters.

Is it safe to have sex if my partner has phimosis where only a small part of the head is visible Should we consider surgery or are there other options
It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even if only a small part of the head is visible, but it might be more comfortable or cause less discomfort with some precautions. Surgery might be an option if phimosis causes pain, irritation, or complications like infection
