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'm a 25-year-old guy and my parents are pushing me to get married. But here's the thing, I get really nervous and scared whenever I think about it. The main issue is that my penis doesn't stay strong and if it does, I ejaculate in like 30-40 seconds. I've had a habit of watching porn 247 for about three and a half years, though I stopped a few months back. Once, I tried having sex with a woman who was willing, but I got so scared, my heart felt like it was beating ten times faster than usual. Even when we just talked on the phone, I'd feel something coming out of my penis. Is there anything I can do to sort this out? Any advice would be really helpful.
It's understandable that you're feeling anxious, but this situation is more common than you might think. Anxiety and past habits like excessive porn consumption can affect sexual performance. Its important to focus on improving your mental health, reducing stress, and allowing time for recovery. Consider speaking with a healthcare professional or a therapist to guide you through these issues and develop a plan to regain confidence and improve your well-being.

I've been having some concerns and I'm hoping you can help. A couple of years ago, I was diagnosed with a urinary tract infection and since then, I've noticed a 0.5 inch lump on my right testicle, which is also a bit larger than my left one. There's nothing like that on my left testicle. Could this be epididymitis, or is it something else I should be worried about?

I'm a bit worried about the mild varicocele diagnosis I got for my left testicle. The doctors mentioned they can't do much. I used to enjoy working out at the gym, but now, any kind of exercise seems to bring back the pain in my abdomen and testicle. I'm curious if going to the gym could have caused this varicocele? I generally stayed away from heavy lifting and mostly focused on weight-bearing and abs workouts. Is there anything I can do to manage this or any advice on what exercises are safe?
Varicocele is usually caused by the enlargement of the veins within the scrotum, often referred to as the "pampiniform plexus." While heavy lifting exercises can potentially exacerbate varicocele, any form of physical activity that increases intra-abdominal pressure, such as weight-bearing and abs workouts, can also contribute to the development or worsening of varicocele. It is advisable to avoid activities that strain the abdominal muscles and increase pressure in the scrotum. To alleviate symptoms and reduce discomfort, you can consider wearing a scrotal support or compression underwear during physical activities. Additionally, you may benefit from taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen to manage any discomfort. If the pain persists or worsens, consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
