Symptoms of urinary tract infection in men

The cause of UTI in men is Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria, which enters the male urinary tract due to poor hygiene, sexual activity, or even during normal toilet use. UTI in men is rare, but when it occurs, it can be quite complicated to treat and requires a doctor's attention.

5 Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) in Men that can help you identify UTI:

Here are top 5 symptoms of UTI in men if you experience any of these 5 symptoms in men, it’s important to consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment.

1. Frequent urination: When you have UTI, the urinary tract becomes swollen, making it difficult to urinate properly. This causes you to feel the need to urinate frequently, but only a small amount of urine comes out each time.
2. Burning sensation during urination: With UTI, the urinary tract becomes inflamed and sensitive. Due to the acidic nature of urine, you may feel a burning sensation when urinating.
3. Cloudy urine: When you have UTI, your immune system produces white blood cells (WBC) to fight the bacteria. The waste material from the bacteria and the WBC mix together, causing your urine to appear cloudy.
4. Foul-smelling urine: As bacteria grow in your urinary tract, they release waste products like ammonia, which causes the urine to smell bad.
5. Lower abdominal or back pain: These symptoms occur when the infection has spread and reached your bladder or kidneys.
