What are the causes and treatments of urinary tract infections in men?

Urinary tract infection is a very common disease that affects the human reproductive system. Many urinary tract infections are mainly caused by bacteria, which is related to poor personal hygiene, living in a humid environment, and not drying underwear. For male urinary tract infections, it is necessary to determine the cause and relevant treatment methods.

The main causes of recurrent genitourinary infections include:

1. Unstandardized treatment of urogenital infection. Usually, urine tests or urine cultures are required 1 week and 4 weeks after stopping medication. If both results are negative, it means that the infection has been cured. However, some patients stop taking medication on their own after their symptoms improve, or do not return to the hospital for a follow-up examination as required by the doctor, resulting in recurrence or prolonged infection, which then turns into a chronic disease. This repetitive process will only increase the difficulty of treatment.

2. Combined with some underlying diseases, such as diabetes, urinary stones, urethral obstruction, etc.

3. Mechanical operations on the urinary tract, such as catheterization, may introduce bacteria into the urethra or damage the urethral mucosa, thereby providing an opportunity for bacterial infection.

4. Long-term use of immunosuppressants will reduce the body's resistance and make it easier to get infected.

5. Not paying attention to hygiene, including daily hygiene and hygiene before and after sexual intercourse.
