Main Symptoms of Prostatic Calculi

Prostatic calculi are tiny stone-like grains that form inside the prostate. Most men never feel them, but when they irritate the gland the clues are steady and specific. The first hint is a deep, dull ache between the legs. It feels like a small rock pressing behind the pubic bone and flares after long sitting or ejaculation. Burning shows up next. It stings at the start of the stream and can linger for a few seconds after you finish. Urgency and frequency team up. You dash every hour, yet only a weak, stop-start trickle comes out. Semen can change. Drops... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Prostatic Cyst

A prostatic cyst is a fluid-filled sac tucked inside or next to the prostate. Most are small and silent, but when they enlarge they squeeze the urethra and nearby nerves, giving quiet but steady clues. The first hint is a slow-starting stream. You wait a few extra seconds, then the flow is weak and stops and starts like a kinked hose. Urgency shows up next. You feel a sudden “gotta go” signal, yet only a small amount comes out each time. Deep pelvic pressure follows. It feels like a small golf ball parked between the legs, worse after sitting or... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Intersex Conditions

Intersex conditions are present from birth and involve differences in genitals, chromosomes, or sex hormones that don’t fit typical male or female patterns. Signs may be noticed at birth, during puberty, or only when fertility is checked later. At birth, the first clue is unclear genital shape. The clitoris may look larger than expected, the penis smaller, or the scrotum split and empty without palpable testes. Labia can be fused and feel like a scrotum, or a single opening may run along the underside of the penis instead of at the tip. Chromosome tests may surprise. A baby with “boy”... Learn more

Main Symptoms of Semen Non-Liquefaction

Semen non-liquefaction means the ejaculate stays thick and jelly-like longer than the normal 15-30 minutes, making it hard for sperm to swim. The problem is silent at climax but shows up later. The main sign is a thick, sticky gel that persists. Instead of turning watery, the sample stays like jam on the fingers or tissue. Small clumps or grains may be visible. They look like tiny tapioca pearls mixed into the fluid. Volume often looks normal, so the issue is noticed only when the gel is still there an hour later. Some men feel a mild drag or heaviness...

Main Symptoms of Hematospermia

Hematospermia means blood in the semen. The color can range from light pink to rust red, and it usually shows up without any warning pain. The main sign is a color change during ejaculation. Instead of pearly white, the fluid looks pink, red, or contains small clots. Volume may increase slightly. The extra blood can make the load look bigger than normal, but the texture stays the same. Most men feel no pain. The event feels like a regular climax, with only the color as a clue. If the cause is infection or inflammation, a deep ache or burn can... Learn more
