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 been dealing with some lower back pain, and my doctor prescribed me Zerodol SP to take for two days. I took the pill after eating some fruits and salads, and now I'm a little worried if that might be an issue. Also, I've been on Zifi AZ, which is cefexime and azithromycin, for a urinary tract infection at the same time. Is it okay to take these meds after having fruits and salads, or should I be doing something differently?

No there is no any complication,you can follow your doctors advice,consume more water upto 4L in a day and take adequate rest

I have a 9.5 mm stone in my right kidney and a 4.5 mm one in the left can these pass naturally or do I need meds to help break them down? Really hoping to avoid surgery if possible.

Stones under 5 mm often pass naturally; 9.5 mm may need lithotripsy or stenting. Hydration, tamsulosin, and pain control are important until reviewed by a urologist.

I'm really concerned because it feels like my penis has lost all sensitivity and there's no erection at all. It suddenly seems like there's no blood flow, and honestly, it's like it's dead. I'm unsure whats going on and would really appreciate some guidance on what kind of treatment I should consider. Can anyone help?
