Infection?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur in any part of your urinary system, which includes your kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most of the time, UTIs affect the lower urinary tract, the bladder and the urethra.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have discussed earlier, UTIs are rare in men. Studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC5615991\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">UTIs affect 3% of men each year <\/a>in old age. It means that most men will never have a UTI, especially at a young age.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>UTIs are not something to mess around with as they can lead to other infections outside of the bladder.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_do_utis_occur\"><\/span>How Do UTIs occur?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria Escherichia coli (E.Coli). This bacteria is usually present in your gut and other body parts. Sometimes, these bacteria spread from another part of the body through the bloodstream to the urinary tract, where it infects the urinary tract and causes a UTI. There are several causes of a UTI in males:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"due_to_an_std\"><\/span>Due to an STD<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to sexually transmitted diseases, a urinary tract infection can happen. Some <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/jaryan-ka-ilaj\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">STDs like Gonorrhea<\/a> can cause infection of the entire lining of the urinary tract.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"kidney_stones\"><\/span>Kidney Stones<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/kidney-stones\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">kidney stones<\/a>, you might be prone to having a UTI. The stone from the kidney can block the urinary tracts and cause an infection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"enlarged_prostate\"><\/span>Enlarged Prostate<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/doctors\/karachi\/urologist\/dr-tanveer-ahmed-1536878\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Assist. Prof. Dr. Tanveer Ahmed<\/a> mostly in older men, an enlarged prostate can cause a UTI. It happens because the urine cannot drain out of the bladder completely.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"use_of_catheter\"><\/span>Use of Catheter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>A urinary tract infection can occur due to a catheter to drain the bladder. It can also happen by urethral stricture. It is a narrowing of the urethra by scar tissue from previous infections.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"what_are_the_symptoms_how_to_tell_if_you_have_a_uti\"><\/span>What are the Symptoms: How to Tell If You Have a UTI?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You may feel no specific signs or symptoms with a UTI. However, when symptoms do present, they can be in the form of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Painful urination<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Frequent urination urges\/A sudden need to urinate<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inability to start urinating<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A slow urine stream or urine leakage<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Blood in urine<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pain in the central lower part of the abdomen<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cloudy urine with a strong odor<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If the urinary tract infection gets more complicated, you may feel <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/diseases\/fever\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">fever,<\/a> chills, nausea, vomiting, back pain, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These symptoms show that the disease has spread to the kidneys or the upper urinary tract. It is a warning sign that you should get a medical checkup immediately.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_is_a_uti_in_men_diagnosed\"><\/span>How is a UTI in Men Diagnosed?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A doctor will diagnose UTI based on your symptoms and lab tests. You get your urine, discharge from urethra and prostate gland tested.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you get serious infections that recur, you may need some other medical tests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>An intravenous pyelogram (IVP), an X-ray of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An ultrasound scan to look at the urinary tract<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A cystoscopy, an exam of the inside of the urethra and bladder with a small lighted instrument<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"how_is_a_uti_treated\"><\/span>How is a UTI Treated?&nbsp;<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can treat a UTI with antibiotics. Usually, a doctor prescribes you a medicine called <em>Pyridium<\/em> to relieve burning and discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the infection is causing fever, pain, or vomiting, a severe kidney infection, you may need to stay at the hospital for treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"are_there_any_home_remedies_for_uti_in_men\"><\/span>Are There Any Home Remedies for UTI in Men?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Although an uncomplicated UTI gets resolved on its own or an antibiotic helps. But antibiotics always come with risks. If you don\u2019t want to ingest antibiotics day in and day out, you must be relieved to know some home remedies to help you steer clear of a UTI.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"always_stay_hydrated_get_your_fill_of_water\"><\/span>Always Stay Hydrated: Get Your Fill of Water<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Drinking water and staying hydrated is one of the answers to any ailment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Urinary tract organs remove the waste from the body with a lot of water. Water also dilutes the urine and speeds up its journey through your urinary system. In this way, bacteria can\u2019t reach your urinary cell linings to cause an infection.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You should drink 6-8 glasses of water every day.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"dont_ever_hold_back_urine\"><\/span>Don\u2019t Ever Hold Back Urine<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Due to a busy life, we all may hold back urine from time to time. It\u2019s the worst thing you can do to yourself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you urinate whenever you have to, it puts pressure on the bacteria in the urinary tract to clear out. Frequent urination puts pressure on bacteria in the urinary tract, which can help to clear them out.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Always urinate as soon as possible when the urge strikes.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"drink_cranberry_juice\"><\/span>Drink Cranberry Juice<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Cranberry juice is highly effective in treating UTIs. It contains compounds that prevent E.coli from attaching to the cells of the urinary tract. This juice has antioxidants like <em>Polyphenols<\/em>, which have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"840\" height=\"480\" src=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/cranberry-juice-for-uti-840x480.jpg\" alt=\"Drink Cranberry Juice\" class=\"wp-image-4908\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Drink a glass of cranberry juice every day. Don\u2019t sweeten it too much.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"eat_yogurt\"><\/span>Eat Yogurt<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Yogurt contains beneficial bacteria known as <em>Probiotics<\/em>. These bacteria help prevent and treat UTIs. Probiotics are present in other dairy products as well, for example, milk, cheese, butter, etc.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are countless <a href=\"https:\/\/healthwire.pk\/healthcare\/5-incredible-health-benefits-of-yogurt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">benefits of yogurt <\/a>that you must know to boost your health.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"get_enough_vitamin_c\"><\/span>Get Enough Vitamin C<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C is crucial for an effective immune system. When your immune system is up and running efficiently, bacteria and viruses will find it harder to attack you.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Vitamin C reacts with nitrates in your urine which instantly kills the bacteria. It lowers the pH of urine, making it harder for bacteria to survive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"wipe_yourself_from_front_to_back\"><\/span>Wipe Yourself From Front to Back<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Always clean yourself efficiently after a bathroom visit.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.niddk.nih.gov\/health-information\/urologic-diseases\/bladder-infection-uti-in-adults\/treatment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">UTIs can develop when bacteria from your rectum or feces gain access to the urethra<\/a>. This small channel allows urine to flow out of the body. Once bacteria are in the urethra, they can travel up into other urinary tract organs, where they can lead to infections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After urinating, wipe yourself in a way that prevents bacteria from coming into contact with the genitals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Use separate pieces of toilet paper to wipe the genitals and anus. Take good care of your bathroom hygiene as well.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"maintain_an_effective_sexual_hygiene\"><\/span>Maintain an Effective Sexual Hygiene<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sexual activity may introduce bacteria from outside the body to the urinary tract. It\u2019s essential to practice good sexual hygiene habits. You must always:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Urinate before and after sexual intercourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Always use contraceptives for example condoms<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash the genitals before and after intercourse<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ensure that the sexual partner is aware of UTIs<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"go_ahead_empty_your_bladder_again\"><\/span>Go Ahead, Empty Your Bladder Again!<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time you empty your bladder \u2014 even if it\u2019s just a small amount \u2014 you rid it of some of the bacteria causing the infection. When you are suffering from a UTI, you get the urge to urinate again and again.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Always empty your bladder. Even if you have to make frequent bathroom trips.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"adopt_a_healthier_lifestyle\"><\/span>Adopt a Healthier Lifestyle<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Having a healthy lifestyle matters a lot. It helps you recover from any ailment quickly. To prevent UTIs, you should:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Quit smoking if you do<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wear loose cotton clothing and underwear<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use fragrance-free personal hygiene products.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Takeaway!!!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A UTI is a frustrating problem, especially if it keeps on recurring.
