Are bananas good for urinary tract infections (UTIs)?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Bananas and other fiber-rich foods are indeed good for preventing urinary tract infections. They aid proper bowel movement, which helps keep pressure off of the urinary tract. So urine flow is unobstructed, ensuring that bacteria build-up does not happen.

I have a 7mm lower ureteric stone and right now I'm feeling pain at the tip of my penis along with some burning sensation There's also mild pain in the upper bladder area but no kidney pain at the moment I'm taking dynapar lasix and alfoo tablets Do you think this stone can pass naturally or will I need surgery
A 7mm stone in the lower ureter might pass naturally, but it's not guaranteed. The pain you're experiencing, especially at the tip of your penis and burning sensation, could indicate a potential issue. pain can shift around as the stone moves through the urinary tract.
