Beginning Symptoms of a UTI in Males

Urinary tract infections, or UTIs, stem from a variety of sources, including bacteria in the intestine, sexually transmitted diseases or kidney infections. Recognizing the beginning symptoms of a UTI can help ease the problem quickly.

  1. Identification

    • Some early symptoms of a urinary tract infection may include frequent urination or urges, pressure or discomfort near the bladder or a burning sensation while urinating.

    Effects

    • UTIs can lead to frequent vomiting and a persistent fever, which in turn can lead to dehydration. Hospitalization may be required in this instance as oral antibiotics may prove to be ineffective with these symptoms.

    Warning

    • Frequent UTI symptoms may indicate a bigger problem at hand for men, such as an enlarged prostate. Call your health provider if you experience these repeated symptoms, particularly if you are a male around the age of 50.

    Features

    • Keep in mind that urinary tract infections can make your urine appear murky while producing a foul smelling odor.

    Prevention/Solution

    • Men battling UTI symptoms should continue using condoms to help ward off additional infections. Reducing your alcohol and caffeine intake can help improve your urine flow and prevent bladder infections.
