Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are less common in men than in women, but they can still occur. The symptoms of a UTI in men may include:
Pain or burning sensation during urination
Frequent urge to urinate, but only passing small amounts of urine
Cloudy or foul-smelling urine
Blood in the urine
Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or back
Rectal pain or discomfort
Fever or chills (if the infection has spread to the kidneys)
It’s important to note that symptoms of a UTI in men may differ from those in women and can also be similar to other conditions, such as sexually transmitted infections or prostatitis. If experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s important to talk to a healthcare provider. UTIs can be easily treated with antibiotics, but if left untreated, they can lead to more serious complications.
