I'm a 33-year-old married woman with a kid and have been dealing with recurrent UTIs once or twice a year. There's a small hole in my vagina since birth that lets feces pass, which my urologist says is an RVF. I never had UTIs before marriage, but now they keep coming back. Which medical department should I consult for RVF? Is surgery the only option, and what's the success rate since I've heard it can come back even after surgery?

View allCan fistula and hydrocele surgeries be done at the same time or is it better to do them separately I've heard mixed opinions and want to understand the risks and recovery process if both are done together
Fistula and hydrocele surgeries can be done together, but the best approach often depends on the individual case and surgeon's preference. Both surgeries are generally considered relatively low-risk, but combining them might slightly increase the risk of complications, such as infection or bleeding. The recovery process might also be slightly longer if both procedures are done concurrently.

I'm noticing that my sexual libido is dropping, and I think it's related to how often I masturbate. Could you suggest foods that might help boost my libido? Also, I've been feeling low on energy during sex. Any advice on what I could do to get that energy level up?
A decrease in libido and energy during sex can sometimes be linked to diet and lifestyle. To support sexual health, consider incorporating foods rich in zinc (like pumpkin seeds, spinach, and seafood), healthy fats (such as avocados and nuts), and antioxidants (like berries and dark chocolate). Also, ensure you're getting enough rest, managing stress, and staying hydrated.

my urologist recommended surgery for phimosis but I'm not sure if it's the best option or if there are any side effects I should be worried about
It's understandable to have concerns about surgical options for phimosis, especially when you're unsure about the best course of action or potential side effects. Surgery for phimosis, often circumcision, is generally recommended when non-surgical treatments like steroid creams or manual stretching haven't been successful, or if the phimosis is causing significant problems like recurring infections or pain. Potential side effects of circumcision include infection, bleeding, and scarring, but these are usually manageable
