I am a 33-year-old man and was recently diagnosed with Urinary Tract Infection (UTI). I was put on an antibiotic regimen that worked wonders. Within a couple of days, the symptoms were gone. My doctor also recommended (not sure if this is for the length of the antibiotic treatment or in general - will have to double-check with my doctor) to avoid prolonged exposure to sun, avoid antiacids, dairy and iron, and drink plenty of water.

However, I am a little concerned by what my doctor said afterwards. She said that it is very unusual for men to get a UTI. She also said that just to be on the safe side, I should consult with a urologist to make sure there are no issues with my bladder.

Is there any other guy out there who has had a urinary tract infection?

    

UTI is not a very common infection and it usually occurs at later stages of life.soI think you must consult a doctor.

UTI is one of the commonest form of infection

I'm a nurse and I'd like to share a little bit.
The best way to treat UTIs in the elderly, or anyone for that matter, is to try to prevent their occurrence. UTIs can be prevented or their recurrence minimized by:
• Not using douches or other feminine hygiene products
• Not drinking fluids that tend to irritate the bladder, such as alcohol and caffeine
• Drinking cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplement tablets, but only if you or your family does not have a history of kidney stones
• Drinking lots of water
• Keeping the genital area clean. If wearing adult diapers see that they are changed regularly. Wear cloth undergarments
• Always wiping from front to back (for women)
