Why do I get frequent urinary tract infections?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Recurrent UTIs (RUTI) are mainly caused by reinfection by the same pathogen. Having frequent sexual intercourse is one of the greatest risk factors for RUTIs. In a subgroup of individuals with coexisting morbid conditions, complicated RUTIs can lead to upper tract infections or urosepsis.

Avoid spicy, fatty, or high-fiber foods. 3. _Stool softeners or laxatives_: If your mother is experiencing constipation, consider consulting her doctor about stool softeners or laxatives. 4. _Follow-up consultation_: Schedule a follow-up appointment with her doctor to assess her recovery progress and address any ongoing concerns. _Monitor and Seek Immediate Medical Attention if:_ 1. _Severe abdominal pain_ 2. _Vomiting blood or black tarry stools_ 3. _Fever above 101.5F (38.6C)_ 4. _Signs of dehydration, such as excessive thirst, dark urine, or decreased urine output

I'm really concerned because I've been married for a year now and still haven't been able to have penetrative sex with my wife. Every time I try to get close, I either lose my erection or can only get the tip of my penis in. Plus, her vagina feels really tight and she can only handle one finger without pain. We're both working professionals and end up tired by the end of the day. I'm not sure if this is due to my erectile dysfunction or if there's something else going on here. Can you suggest some solutions or advice to help us get through this?
It sounds like you may be experiencing both physical and emotional factors affecting your ability to achieve penetrative sex, including possible erectile dysfunction and concerns about vaginal tightness. I recommend consulting a healthcare professional to address potential underlying issues such as erectile dysfunction, stress, or any physical discomfort your wife may be experiencing. A doctor or therapist can offer tailored advice and support, which may include treatments for erectile dysfunction or guidance on relaxation techniques and communication for both of you.
