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.

View allI'm a bit concerned about my penis. It's been slightly curved since I was young, and when it's not erect, it seems really small. When it is erect, it's about 4.5 inches. Plus, my foreskin doesn't really pull back much when I'm hard, and I'm not sure if that's normal. Can you give me some advice on whether this is something to worry about?
It's completely normal for some men to have a slight curvature in their penis, and it can vary in size when flaccid or erect. The difficulty pulling back your foreskin when erect could indicate a condition called phimosis, which is treatable. I recommend consulting a urologist for a proper evaluation and advice on potential treatment options.

I've been experiencing this weird sensation where it feels like my urine is getting stuck in my urethra. My bladder thickness came out normal in tests, and I had a prevoid volume of 584ml and postvoid of 44ml. The prostate is supposed to be normal at 20.4 grams, but I have noticed there's less pressure when I try to pee in the morning. This has been going on for about 67 years, and even when I had it checked earlier, the doctor said everything seemed fine. He even applied pressure inside my anus, and some liquid came out of my penis, but tests showed no infection. I'm just confused about what's happening. Could you help me understand what might be causing this?
It sounds like you're experiencing symptoms of urinary retention or discomfort, which can sometimes occur without any underlying infection or structural issue, as your previous exams showed normal results. If the sensation persists or worsens, it might be helpful to follow up with a urologist for further evaluation to rule out any other causes, such as pelvic floor dysfunction or nerve issues.
