About Urine Infection Male

A urine infection in males, medically termed a urinary tract infection (UTI), is a bacterial infection affecting any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. While less common in men than women, male UTIs are often more complex and may indicate an underlying issue like an enlarged prostate or kidney stones. A urologist manages this condition by first confirming the diagnosis through a detailed history, physical exam, and urinalysis with culture. Treatment typically involves a targeted course of antibiotics. For recurrent or complicated infections, the urologist may perform further investigations like imaging (ultrasound, CT scan) or a cystoscopy to visualize the urethra and bladder, identify obstructions, and ensure complete resolution.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

My dad was admitted to MGM...

My dad was admitted to MGM with a bad fever and we were all worried. Dr. Ramya Shri was the one who really talked to us. She didn't just give medical updates; she explained things in a way we could understand, told us what to watch for at home, and actually listened to our concerns. It made a stressful time much easier to handle.
