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.

View allI'm a bit concerned about having ejaculations during the night. Is this something normal, or could it signify a health issue? I'm curious if it might lead to any complications in the future.
No, nocturnal emissions (or "wet dreams") are a natural and normal occurrence, especially in younger individuals. They don't cause any harm or long-term problems, and there's no need for concern unless they're causing significant distress or affecting daily life.

I'm curious about whether masturbating twice a week would cause a significant calorie loss. Also, does it have any impact on different parts of the body?
Masturbating twice a week burns about 20-30 calories per session. It's generally not harmful and doesn't significantly affect the body, though it can lead to temporary fatigue or muscle soreness in some people. As long as it's balanced with a healthy lifestyle, it's unlikely to cause any long-term issues.
