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 dad is 80 but otherwise healthy - is laser surgery a good option for his prostate enlargement or are there risks we should know about at his age
Laser prostatectomy, especially holmium laser enucleation of the prostate (HoLEP) or photoselective vaporization of the prostate (PVP), can be a viable option for an 80-year-old healthy man with prostate enlargement. While risks exist, the benefits of improved urinary flow and reduced symptoms often outweigh them, especially when performed at a reputable facility according to RG Hospitals. However, it's crucial to have a thorough discussion with a urologist about potential complications, recovery time, and individual health factors.
