I've noticed there's blood in my semen and it's got me a bit worried. I did a urine culture, semen analysis, and semen culture; everything came back negative except they found pus cells between 20 to 25 in the semen analysis. Is this something I should be concerned about, like an infection, or is it something normal?

Pus cells found in semen analysis indicate the presence of infection. To treat this infection, you can take antibiotics such as Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin. It is important to complete the full course of antibiotics as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

I've been wondering about the effects of masturbating three times a week. Is there any truth to the idea that it could lower memory or weaken the brain? I'm just kinda worried and want to know if that's possible.

No, masturbating three times a week does not lower memory or weaken the brain. Its a normal and healthy activity unless it interferes with your daily life. If youre feeling fatigued or stressed, it could be due to other factors like poor sleep, diet, or stress levels.
