Urinary tract stones are hard deposits of mineral that form in the kidney. They might grow bigger in the ureter or bladder. It can block the flow of urine and cause infection, pain, or bleeding.
If the urethra is narrowed down due to an inflammation or infection, the flow of urine can be blocked. This is referred to as Stricture urethra.
Prostate Health: The prostate performs an important function of producing sperm-carrying fluid. It also wraps around the urethra. Thus, ensuring its health ensures good urination and sexual health.
Male Sexual Health: Physiological factors such as erectile function and fertility are essential aspects of male sexual health.
Male Infertility: Male infertility can arise due to low sperm count, abnormal functioning, or a blockage that disrupts sperm delivery. Other factors like inherited disorder or hormonal imbalance can also cause it.
