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've noticed that my penis bends to the left, and I'm wondering if that's normal. Could this be from masturbating? I'd really like to know if there's a way to straighten it out.

Its normal for the penis to have a slight curve, and a bend to the left isnt usually a problem. Masturbation doesnt cause this, so dont worry. If the bend causes pain, difficulty during sex, or concerns, consult a urologist to rule out conditions like Peyronies disease. Otherwise, no treatment is needed.

I have a 3.3 mm kidney stone in the midpole of my left kidney according to the report. I've been sweating a lot and have pain on my left side that spreads to my back and groin. Will this pass on its own or do I need surgery or just some meds?

A detailed evaluation will help decide the best course of action.

I'm really worried about my sperm count and motility. My total sperm count came back at 8 million. I noticed that only 5% are actively motile, 45% are sluggishly motile, and 50% are non-motile. Also, the morphology shows 70% normal. Based on these figures, could this mean I'm dealing with infertility? And if so, what options or remedies might be available for me?
