Bananas and other fiber-rich foods are indeed good for preventing urinary tract infections. They aid proper bowel movement, which helps keep pressure off of the urinary tract. So urine flow is unobstructed, ensuring that bacteria build-up does not happen.

I've had a cyst on my scrotum for about a year now. I thought it would go away on its own, but it's just getting bigger. It started with one and now there are four. What's going on? Should I be worried?

Question

I'm having trouble with premature ejaculation, and it's really affecting my newly married life. I tried consulting a doctor who recommended using LOX2 jelly for three months, but I'm still not seeing any improvement. What else can I do?

Question

I've always been really good at sex, but over the last ten years, I've been masturbating at least 3 to 6 times a day. I used to be able to perform 6 times a night, but now, even though I still masturbate daily, I find myself ejaculating too early, like within 15 seconds during sex. It's been getting worse, and I feel weaker when it comes to sex. What should I do about this?
