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.

View allI've been having some pain when I start peeing, especially on days when I don't drink enough water. I had surgery for a urinary tube stricture last year and also have a history of kidney stones - could these issues be related to the discomfort I'm feeling now?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I've been diagnosed with grade 2 varicocele and have some pain in my testes, especially when walking. My doctor said surgery isn't needed since it's grade 2, but I'm still feeling uncomfortable. Should I get a second opinion or is it okay to manage it without surgery?
It's reasonable to seek a second opinion if you're experiencing discomfort despite your doctor's assessment that surgery isn't necessary for a grade 2 varicocele. While conservative management (like pain relievers and scrotal support) is often sufficient for mild cases, persistent pain warrants further evaluation. A second opinion can offer different perspectives and treatment options, including potentially exploring embolization, a minimally invasive, non-surgical procedure

I'm 27 and I've been noticing something strange. When I masturbate, my penis gets really tight, but when I'm having sex with my girlfriend, it doesn't seem to get as tight. It's got me super worried. Could you help me understand what's going on?
It's normal for the penis to feel firmer or tighter during masturbation due to different levels of arousal and muscle contraction. During sex, the physical and emotional dynamics are different, which can affect how the penis feels. If you're concerned, consider speaking with a healthcare provider for further reassurance.
