Are bananas good for urinary tract infections (UTIs)?

Doctor 1

Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors

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.

  1. Bananas and UTIs:

    • Bananas are gentle on the stomach and do not irritate the bladder, making them a suitable food choice during UTIs.
    • They are low in acid, unlike citrus fruits, reducing the risk of bladder discomfort.
  2. Nutritional Benefits:

    • Provide essential vitamins and minerals like vitamin C and potassium, supporting overall health.
  3. Hydration and Diet:

    • Staying hydrated is crucial during UTIs; bananas contribute to overall nutrition but are not a treatment.
  4. Medical Advice:

    • Follow healthcare provider's advice, including antibiotics and increased water intake.
    • Seek medical attention if symptoms persist or worsen.

I'm really worried about my sperm count and motility. My total sperm count came back at 8 million. I noticed that only 5% are actively motile, 45% are sluggishly motile, and 50% are non-motile. Also, the morphology shows 70% normal. Based on these figures, could this mean I'm dealing with infertility? And if so, what options or remedies might be available for me?

I've noticed this weird yellowish stuff coming from my penis over the past two days, and it really burns when I pee. I've been masturbating a lot, like every day for a week. What's going on? Should I be worried?

The symptoms you're experiencing yellow discharge and burning sensation while urinating could indicate urethritis, a urinary tract infection, or even an STI. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for a proper diagnosis and treatment. In the meantime, avoid activities that could irritate the area further and ensure proper hygiene.
