Question 1

can doctors tell me what does this mean when he says he is sterile?

Accepted Answer

Depends: A sterile male may have had his sperm ducts cut or tied off.  He may be sterile because of disease or injury.  He may be sterile for no reason known except that his sperm production is turned off.  The bottom line is that he cannot father a child with you.

Question 2

idk how this happened but i urinated while dreaming about it. a little urine came to mattress. i put water and detergent on it. does it mean, my mattress isnt sterile and safe anymore and it contains bacteria from urine? i've bv?

Accepted Answer

: You can clean it with whatever you have on hand, blow it dry with a hair dryer or let it sun dry &amp; air it out. Any germs that may be there to begin with will die out with this effort. None will survive long after they dry out. If this is an occasional thing look into a pee shield mattress cover. They sell them for all sized mattresses. I would consider it safe after these things are done.
