Yes, urine can flow back into the kidneys, a condition known as vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). This occurs when urine flows backward from the bladder toward the kidneys.
-
Why it matters: This can increase the risk of kidney infections and damage if not managed properly.
-
Causes: It may result from a malfunction of the valves between the bladder and ureters or other urinary tract abnormalities.
-
Symptoms: Often asymptomatic, but can cause frequent urinary tract infections, fever, or pain.
-
Diagnosis and treatment: Diagnosed with imaging tests like an ultrasound or VCUG. Treatment ranges from monitoring to antibiotics or surgery, depending on severity.
If you have concerns about urinary symptoms or infections, consult a healthcare provider for evaluation and care.

I'm really worried about my health because of my past habits, and I need some advice. I've noticed that after years of excessive masturbation, things are starting to change for the worse now that I'm 21. I used to do it up to 34 times a day, and it has left me with some concerning issues. My nerves feel really weak, my penis bends to the left, and I can't seem to remember things as well as I used to. I also experience muscular pain and sometimes gastritis, and my mindset isn't great either; the fear of dying is always hovering over me. Blood circulation doesn't seem right, and I've got low sperm and hemoglobin counts. On top of that, I keep having wet dreams way too frequently. I really want to regain my vitality, vigor, and overall strength. Can you give me some guidance on how to turn these things around?

I've been dealing with really painful kidney stones - an 18mm one on the left side and a 3.3mm one on the right. The pain comes and goes but it's pretty intense when it flares up. Is there any way to get relief without having to go through surgery? What would be the best treatment options for stones this size?
You can pick from options like 1. Surgery ( most effective), 2. Extracorporeal short wave lithotripsy ( ESWL) in which there are no cuts involved. Medicines would not be effective except for relieving pain
