Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment Online at Urology Video Visit

Introduction: UTIs and Men’s Health

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are often thought of as a women’s health issue, but men can also develop infections of the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. While less common in men, UTIs are often more serious and require prompt evaluation and treatment.

According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK), UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract and multiply, causing inflammation and discomfort. At Urology Video Visit, our providers offer fast, confidential telehealth evaluations to diagnose UTIs and prescribe FDA-approved antibiotics when appropriate.

What Causes UTIs in Men?

UTIs develop when bacteria enter the urinary system, usually through the urethra. Contributing factors for men include:

  • Prostate issues such as benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) that prevent complete bladder emptying.
  • Kidney stones or urinary tract obstructions.
  • Catheter use or prior urinary procedures.
  • Weakened immune system due to diabetes or other conditions.
  • Sexually transmitted infections (STIs), which can mimic UTI symptoms.

Because UTIs in men may point to underlying issues, timely evaluation is essential.

Common Symptoms of UTIs in Men

Men experiencing a urinary tract infection may notice:

  • Burning sensation during urination (dysuria)
  • Frequent urge to urinate, often with small amounts
  • Cloudy, foul-smelling, or bloody urine
  • Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
  • Fever, chills, or back pain (suggesting kidney involvement)

If left untreated, UTIs can progress to more serious kidney infections, making early treatment vital.

Treatment Options for UTIs

Treatment depends on the severity and location of the infection:

  • Antibiotics: First-line treatment for most bacterial UTIs. Specific type and duration depend on culture results and risk factors.
  • Pain relief medications: To ease burning and discomfort during urination.
  • Increased hydration: Drinking water helps flush bacteria from the urinary tract.
  • Lifestyle adjustments: Avoiding irritants like caffeine and alcohol during recovery.

For recurrent UTIs or cases linked to prostate issues, additional evaluation may be necessary.

⚠️ Antibiotics are prescribed only when medically appropriate after consultation.

When to Seek Urgent Care

Telemedicine can handle most uncomplicated UTIs, but some cases require emergency attention:

  • High fever, chills, or severe back/flank pain (possible kidney infection).
  • Blood in urine (hematuria).
  • Inability to urinate at all.
  • Severe pain unrelieved by over-the-counter medication.

Our providers will help you determine whether in-person testing is needed.

Prevention Tips for Men

Our providers also discuss ways to lower your risk of recurrent UTIs:

  • Empty bladder completely during urination.
  • Stay well-hydrated throughout the day.
  • Practice safe sex to avoid infections that mimic UTI symptoms.
  • Manage prostate conditions under medical supervision.
