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.

My 71-year-old father was diagnosed with prostate cancer after a biopsy showed grade 24. The doctor recommended removing his prostate gland and testis, but he's currently taking homeopathic medicine like sabal serulata 200. Is surgery really necessary at this stage, or can his condition be managed with medicines? We're open to homeopathy, Ayurveda, herbal treatments, or even combining them with allopathy if it helps avoid surgery.

yes surgery is advised

I'm a bit concerned about having ejaculations during the night. Is this something normal, or could it signify a health issue? I'm curious if it might lead to any complications in the future.

No, nocturnal emissions (or "wet dreams") are a natural and normal occurrence, especially in younger individuals. They don't cause any harm or long-term problems, and there's no need for concern unless they're causing significant distress or affecting daily life.
