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.

I'm curious about the recovery process after circumcision surgery. How long should I plan to rest, and when can I start activities like riding a bike or going back to the office?

After circumcision surgery, it is recommended to take at least 1-2 days of rest to allow for initial healing. It is advisable to avoid driving a bike for at least 1-2 weeks to prevent any discomfort or complications. Returning to office work can typically be done after 3-4 days, depending on individual healing and comfort levels. Remember to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider for optimal recovery.

I'm experiencing nightfall about 5 or 6 times a month, and when it happens, a white sticky liquid comes out, which I think might be sperm. But when I try to masturbate like most guys do, nothing comes out except urine. I also had sex with my girlfriend using a condom, but didn't feel like any sperm came out then either. Is something wrong with me, or should I be worried about not being able to ejaculate properly?

Possible Causes* 1. *Ear Infection*: Middle ear infection (otitis media) or outer ear infection (otitis externa) can cause ear pain, heaviness, and numbness. 2. *Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Disorder*: TMJ connects the jawbone to the skull. Disorders in this joint can cause ear pain, headaches, and numbness. 3. *Migraine or Tension Headache*: Headaches can cause pain, heaviness, and numbness on one side of the head. 4. *Sinusitis*: Inflammation of the sinuses can cause pain, pressure, and numbness in the face, including the ear area. 5. *Dental Issues*: Toothaches, abscesses, or gum disease can radiate pain to the ear and head area. Self-Care* 1. *Apply Warm Compresses*: Warm compresses can help relieve ear pain and discomfort. 2. *Manage Stress*: Stress can exacerbate headaches and ear pain. Engage in stress-reducing activities like meditation, deep breathing, or yoga. 3. *Maintain Good Oral Hygiene*: Brush and floss regularly to prevent dental issues.
