I'm a bit confused and worried about something that's been happening during sex with my wife. After intercourse, I notice this thread-like sticky substance coming from my penis, and I'm trying to figure out if it's sperm or just precum because my penis becomes smaller and slips out afterwards. I'm 42 and not sure if this is normal or something I should be worried about. Can you help me understand what's happening?

Based on your description, it sounds like ejaculation occurred, as the sticky thread-like fluid coming from your penis likely contains both sperm and seminal fluid. Precum typically appears before ejaculation and may not always contain sperm, but during ejaculation, sperm is released. If you have concerns about fertility or reproductive health, it's best to consult a doctor for evaluation.

Is it possible to increase panis size by 2 inch without surgery. Please help me i am very depressed

Many pumps, pills, weights, exercises and surgeries claim to increase the length and width of your penis. But, there's little scientific support for nonsurgical methods to enlarge the penis. And no trusted medical organization endorses penis surgery for purely cosmetic reasons.

My dad was diagnosed with grade 1 prostatomegaly and his prostate size is 37cc. The doctor recommended surgery but I'm not sure if it's really necessary at this stage. Could we explore other options or wait and watch first? Just looking for a second opinion on whether surgery is the best route right now

Grade 1 prostatomegaly can be monitored‚Äîmeds like tamsulosin help; surgery is rarely needed early on.

I have a 7.1x6.9mm epididymal cyst and noticed pus in my semen. I did a semen culture test and took meds but nothing changed. Are there other treatment options or would surgery be needed?

Given your persistent pus in semen despite antibiotic treatment for a suspected infection, and the presence of a 7.1x6.9mm epididymal cyst, further evaluation and potential surgical intervention should be considered. While antibiotics are the first line of defense against infection, if the pus persists, it could indicate a blockage or structural issue, potentially related to the cyst, that requires surgical removal (spermatocelectomy).
