Introduction
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are less common in men than women but can be more serious when they occur. Because symptoms often overlap with other urologic conditions, men should never ignore signs of a possible infection. Telemedicine makes it easy to diagnose and treat UTIs safely with appropriate antibiotics.

What Is a UTI?
A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract, causing infection. In men, UTIs may involve:
- The bladder (cystitis)
- The urethra (urethritis)
- In rare cases, the kidneys (pyelonephritis)
Symptoms of UTIs in Men
- Burning during urination
- Frequent urge to urinate
- Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
- Blood in the urine
- Pelvic or back pain
Causes & Risk Factors
- Enlarged prostate (BPH) leading to incomplete bladder emptying
- Kidney stones
- Diabetes
- Catheter use
- Recent sexual activity
When to Use Telemedicine for a UTI
Telemedicine providers can:
- Review your symptoms and history
- Order a urine test if necessary
- Prescribe antibiotics when clinically appropriate
- Provide follow-up instructions for hydration and prevention
⚠️ If you have fever, flank pain, or signs of kidney infection, in-person urgent care is required.
