Overview

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are less prevalent in men compared to women, primarily due to the anatomical distinctions in the male urinary tract. Nevertheless, when these infections do arise, they can cause significant discomfort and necessitate medical intervention.

Symptoms

• Painful or burning urination (Dysuria)
• Frequent urination
• Urgency to pass urine
• Cloudy or bloody urine
• Foul-smelling urine
• Lower abdominal pain or discomfort
• Fever and chills

Treatment

In men, UTI treatment usually entails a regimen of antibiotics to eradicate the bacterial infection. The selection of antibiotics is contingent upon variables such as the type of bacteria responsible for the infection and its susceptibility to antibiotics.
