I'm really concerned about my UTI and I really don't want to go on antibiotics if I can help it. Are there any other effective ways to treat this? Also, how can I tell if the infection has spread to my kidneys? I'm not sure what symptoms to look for and it's making me anxious.

I'm dealing with phimosis and a bit of frenulum breve, and it's causing issues during sex. Should I consider circumcision or preputioplasty? What would be the better option for me, and how much would the surgery cost?

Phimosis with frenulum breve may improve with creams and stretching; preputioplasty is less invasive than circumcision and often preferred.
