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 have a 9.2 mm stone in my left kidney can it pass with medicine or will I need surgery? I'm worried about the size and if it's too big to remove naturally. What are my options?

I'm feeling really anxious about my upcoming inguinal scrotal surgery next week. I recently went to see a pulmonary specialist for some chest pain and heaviness, and they found severe restriction due to small airway obstruction during the spirometry test. The doctor mentioned it's normal, but I'm still worried. Can you help me understand if there's anything specific I should be doing or looking out for with these results before my surgery?
