Question 1

I'm really confused and concerned about my semen analysis results from a couple of days ago. The report showed a count of 8 million per ml and motility at 45%. This morning, I tried a home test by adding semen to water, and I noticed that about 90% of it sank. Could you explain what it means when semen sinks or floats? I'm really curious and worried.

Accepted Answer

Thank you for your query. Typically, semen that sinks in water may indicate lower sperm motility or vitality, as healthy sperm are more likely to float. However, it's important to consider that a home test may not provide an accurate representation of sperm health. I recommend discussing these results with a healthcare provider for further analysis and guidance.

Question 3

My mom had an ultrasound that showed a 20 mm simple cortical cyst in the lower pole of her right kidney. Two months later, another ultrasound from a different lab showed the cyst grew to 30mm x 23mm in the same kidney. Is this size concerning and does she need surgery for it?
