I am wondering about the side effects of daily baths in very hot water for men. I had a semen analysis and was shocked to discover it contains no sperm. I enjoy hot baths. Could this be the cause?

For sperm to develop normally, the testicles need to remain at a constant temperature that is several degrees lower than elsewhere in the body. This is probably one reason why the testicles hang outside of the body. This is in contrast to women’s ovaries, which are an equivalent reproductive organ. This need for a constant temperature is also why a man’s scrotum contracts (shrinks) when exposed to very cold water.

My 81-year-old husband has been diagnosed with an abdominal aortic aneurysm that’s 5.2 centimeters wide. His doctors say there’s a magic number at which surgery is done, but I’m questioning why they can’t do something sooner. My husband is generally in good health, so he shouldn’t be a poor candidate for surgery.

My daughter has schizophrenia. The psychiatrist at her mental health center prescribed an antipsychotic drug. I know some of these drugs increase the risk of diabetes and heart disease. What sort of clinical monitoring do you advise?

I am a 52-year-old man. When I finish urinating, I drip much more then I used to. And I have a stinging sensation in my urethra. I have had the same partner for 32 years so I don’t think it’s a sexually transmitted disease (STD). What might cause this?

I do computer work, so most of my day is spent sitting. Over the past few months, I have been noticing a small bump just around my anus. There’s no pain or itching. And it’s not inside the anal area. It seems to get filled with blood when I put more pressure while using the toilet. It’s almost like swollen skin — very soft, without any hardness. What could this be? Are there any home remedies?
