I'm a 21-year-old male and I've been having recurring UTIs. I had one back in January, where my abdomen scan was normal but the urine culture showed E. coli. My doctor prescribed Nitrofurantoin for 14 days along with Citralka and Meftalspas. Then in May, I got another UTI. Again, my abdomen scan was normal but E. coli showed up in the culture. This time, I was given 14 Amikacin 500 injections for a week plus Citralka. I felt fine for about 15 days, but now I'm experiencing a burning sensation when I pee. I'm really concerned and don't know what to do next. Can you help?
Consult with a urologist for a thorough evaluation. Get a urine culture with antibiotic sensitivity testing. Follow a personalized treatment plan, potentially involving a different antibiotic or longer treatment. Make necessary lifestyle changes and practice preventive measures to avoid further infections.

I'm a bit stressed out about my situation. I recently got married and our sexual life has been pretty good, but during intercourse, when I reach the climax, I can't seem to ejaculate sperm. There's also no sensation of releasing sperm. I used to masturbate for about two years, quite frequently, like two or three times a day. I'm worried that might be affecting my ability to ejaculate now during intercourse. It's making me feel really embarrassed. I've tried different positions like woman on top and doggy style, but nothing seems to help. Can you give me some advice on what might be going on?
It sounds like you're experiencing a condition known as **delayed ejaculation**, which can sometimes result from overuse of masturbation or anxiety. It's important to discuss this with a healthcare provider who can assess your situation and guide you through potential causes and treatments, such as relaxation techniques or adjustments in sexual habits. You're not alone in this, and there are solutions that can help improve your experience.
