Why do I get frequent urinary tract infections?

Doctor 1

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.

I'm wondering why my urine is yellow every morning. During the day, as long as I'm constantly drinking water, my urine looks fine. But if I skip drinking water for a couple of hours or more, it turns yellow again. I aim to drink about 5-6 liters of water each day, but obviously, I can't while I'm sleeping, so the issue comes back every morning. Could this be a sign of something serious? Should I consult a specific type of doctor? I had a full body check-up six months ago, and they said I was completely fine. Also, I've been having some digestion problems. What do you suggest I do about all this?

The new symptoms of heavy gas and sharp back pain require attention. Stop taking LMX 500 and Rabesec 20 immediately and consult your gastroenterologist as soon as possible. In the meantime, consider taking an antacid or a gas-relieving medication like Simethicone (Eno) to alleviate symptoms. Apply a warm compress to your back to help manage the pain. Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water and consider a bland diet to ease digestion. Seek medical attention promptly to adjust your treatment plan and address the new symptoms.

I've been wondering about the effects of daily masturbation over many years. I'm 28 now, could this habit be lowering my testosterone levels? Also, are there other factors or things I should be aware of that might be causing low testosterone?

Daily masturbation does not significantly impact testosterone levels in a healthy 28-year-old. However, chronic stress, poor diet, lack of sleep, obesity, and certain medical conditions (e.g., hypogonadism) can contribute to low testosterone levels. It's important to maintain a healthy lifestyle for optimal hormone balance.
