Can Men Get UTIs?
Yes — though less common than in women, UTIs in men often warrant prompt evaluation.
Yes. Men can get urinary tract infections, though they are less common than in women because of anatomy.
When men get UTIs: Symptoms include burning with urination, frequency, urgency, cloudy urine, and sometimes pelvic or rectal discomfort.
Why prompt evaluation matters: UTIs in men may be associated with prostate issues, kidney stones, or other structural factors. A provider may recommend additional evaluation.
Older men: Enlarged prostate (BPH) can contribute to urinary symptoms and infections. Do not assume all urinary symptoms are simple UTIs.
Treatment: When confirmed, antibiotics are prescribed. Follow the full course and return if symptoms recur.
