I've been using delay spray for the past 7-8 years to help with PE, but I haven't really paid attention to the instructions all that time. Now my partner and I are trying for a baby and there's a chance we might have conceived, but nothing is confirmed yet. I'm just worried if the delay spray could have any effects on conceiving or on the embryo or fetus that's developing. Could it be a potential issue?

Delay sprays typically contain local anesthetics like lidocaine or benzocaine, which are generally considered safe for external use in small amounts. However, prolonged or excessive use could potentially affect sperm motility. Its advisable to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice, especially when trying to conceive.

Is it normal if I cum in just a few seconds?

The average time from the beginning of intercourse to ejaculation is about five minutes. If it happens before 1 minute then it's usually considered as pre mature ejaculation which has many reasons.

I'm really worried about my wife. She's been dealing with a urinary infection and her alkaline phosphatase levels are at 250. I'm not sure what treatment options would be best for her. Could you help us figure this out?

Persistent Cough with Blood-Streaked Sputum and Dizziness _Concerns and Recommendations_ 1. _Incomplete treatment_: Azithral (azithromycin) for 5 days might not have fully cleared the infection. 2. _Blood-streaked sputum_: This symptom warrants further investigation to rule out underlying conditions, such as: - Pneumonia - Bronchitis - Pulmonary embolism (less likely, but possible) - Tuberculosis (TB) 3. _Dizziness_: This could be related to the underlying infection, smoking, or other factors. 4. _Smoking_: Your frequent smoking habit may be exacerbating the condition.
