Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can affect both males and females, but they are less common in males than in females. When UTIs do occur in males, they can have symptoms such as:
- Frequent Urination: An increased need to urinate, often with only small amounts of urine being passed.
- Painful Urination: A burning or stinging sensation during urination.
- Urgency: A strong and sudden urge to urinate.
- Lower Abdominal Pain: Discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or pelvic area.
- Cloudy, Bloody, or Foul-Smelling Urine: Changes in the appearance or odor of urine.
- Discomfort in the Pelvis: A feeling of pressure or discomfort in the pelvic region.
- Fever: In some cases, a UTI can lead to a fever, indicating a more severe infection.
It’s important to note that UTI symptoms in males can sometimes be more subtle or mimic other conditions, such as prostatitis or bladder issues. If you suspect you have a UTI or are experiencing any of these symptoms, it’s advisable to seek medical attention. UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics, and early diagnosis and treatment can help prevent complications and more severe infections.
