Why are UTIs more common for women than men?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Women have a shorter urethra than men do. As a result, there's less distance for bacteria to travel to reach the bladder. Using diaphragms for birth control may increase the risk of UTIs. Using spermicidal agents also can increase risk.

My foreskin doesn't retract like it should it's not super tight but still won't go back. I'd rather avoid surgery are there any medications or treatments that could help with this?
If your foreskin isn't fully retracting and you'd like to avoid surgery, a topical steroid cream or ointment is often recommended. These medications can help soften and loosen the foreskin, making retraction easier. In some cases, gentle stretching exercises can also be beneficial.

My brother has been diagnosed with kidney stones and is in constant pain. The report shows multiple stones can these be treated with medication or will surgery be necessary? The pain seems unbearable for him and we're really worried about the next steps.
Kidney stones are painful, and whether they can be treated with medication or require surgery depends on their size, location, and the severity of the pain. Some stones may pass on their own with increased fluid intake and pain medication, while others may require procedures like extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) or surgery
