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.

There is no evidence to suggest that masturbation is harmful to your health. If someone is experiencing any negative physical or emotional effects from excessive masturbation, it is important to address the underlying issues. It is recommended to maintain a balance in all aspects of life, including sexual activities. If you are experiencing any concerns related to masturbation or your sexual health, it is best to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized advice and guidance.

I've been diagnosed with 5mm kidney stones on both sides and I'm really looking to treat this without having to take tablets. Are there any alternative treatments or methods available for this situation?
Most stones that cause renal colic are small and pass out with the urine in a day or so. You should drink plenty of fluids to encourage a good flow of urine. Strong painkillers are often needed to ease the painuntil you pass the stone. No other treatment is usually needed.

I'm really worried about something. My penis seems really small, like what you'd expect for a 5-year-old child, when I'm not watching any porn or thinking about sex. But when I do think about sex, it only grows very slowly and doesn't get much bigger or longer, kind of like a child's. What should I do about this?
