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've been dealing with what's probably jock itch and I've been sexually active while this was happening and even masturbated. Now there's this swelling on my penis, like half an inch down from the head, forming a ring about the same width around it. I'm circumcised, but there's also a lot of swelling at the bottom of the head, particularly on the foreskin underneath. I'm really worried about all this and I am wondering what the problem could be and how to handle it as soon as possible.
This could be fungal infection u need to evaluate with your Dermatologist and get appropriate treatment with oral antifungal medications and topical lotions,once the infection is resolved your hair fall would come down,I suggest you not to use minoxidil with active fungal infection,above this your personal hygiene care is more important.

Ive been noticing some swelling on the lower left side of my waist whenever I eat or drink water, or even when I try to hold in my urine. It's kind of worrying me because there's no pain involved. Could you shed some light on what this might be and what kind of treatment I should consider?
The swelling on your lower left waist without pain could be due to constipation, water retention, or a possible kidney issue; consult a general surgeon for a proper evaluation, and in the meantime, try increasing fiber intake, staying hydrated, and managing urine flow to alleviate symptoms.

I've been having some pain when I start peeing, especially on days when I don't drink enough water. I had surgery for a urinary tube stricture last year and also have a history of kidney stones - could these issues be related to the discomfort I'm feeling now?
A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.
