Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.

Question

I've got a 5.5mm stone in my ureter and I'm really not sure what to do. I'm taking Himalaya Cystone three times a day and also Ridstone tablets, but the pain can be pretty intense at times. Can you suggest the best course of action? I've heard a lot about you and really hope you can help.

Question

I've noticed that after ejaculation, I often feel the urge to urinate, but it's hard to get started. Once I do, the urine stream seems pretty narrow. When I'm not dealing with this, everything flows normally, though sometimes it's like the stream sprays unexpectedly. What could be causing this?

Question

I'm having some trouble and really need some advice. For about a week now, I've been experiencing a heavy pain and a burning sensation when I pull the skin back on my penis. It also hurts the same way when I urinate and even when I go potty. It's really uncomfortable, and I'm not sure whether I should see a dermatologist or a sexologist about this. Could you guide me on which doctor would be the best to consult?
