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?

I'm feeling a bit confused about who to see for issues with erectile dysfunction. Should I be looking for a urologist or is an andrologist the right specialist? What's the actual difference between the two?

Mild splenomegaly (enlarged spleen) and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) can coexist, but it's unclear if the enlarged spleen is directly causing your digestive issues. _Possible connections:_ 1. *Splenic flexure syndrome*: An enlarged spleen can put pressure on the splenic flexure (a part of the colon), leading to digestive issues like bloating, abdominal pain, and changes in bowel movements. 2. *Immune system imbalance*: The spleen plays a role in immune function. An enlarged spleen might contribute to immune system imbalances, which could exacerbate IBS symptoms. 3. *Inflammation*: Splenomegaly can be associated with chronic inflammation, which might worsen IBS symptoms. _However, it's essential to note:_ 1. *IBS is a complex condition*: IBS has multiple factors contributing to its development, including gut motility, hypersensitivity, and psychological factors. 2. *Mild splenomegaly might not be the primary cause*: Your IBS symptoms might be unrelated to the enlarged spleen, or the spleen might be only one of several contributing factors.

Non-surgical options like vacuum pumps or extenders offer minimal, often temporary gains. Be cautious of scams. Counseling may help if body image is affecting confidence.

I'm a bit concerned because every time I masturbate, I get this sweet ache in my testes afterwards. I do it pretty often and I'm wondering if that's something I need to be worried about. Is there a specific diet or anything I can do to improve my health and boost my immunity? I'm also quite skinny, so I'm curious if over-masturbation could cause any issues for me down the line, and what kind of problems those might be.

Thats unusual,visit Urologist for evaluation and appropriate management
