What are the causes of urinary tract infection in men?

Urinary tract infection is a common disease, belonging to the urinary system disease. Urinary tract infection can cause many complications, and the incidence rate is higher in women, especially during frequent sexual life, when urinary tract infection will occur more frequently. However, many men also have the trouble of urinary tract infection. When men are infected with urinary tract diseases, it will lead to urinary tract problems such as white urine. So, what are the causes of male urinary tract infection? How to treat male urinary tract infection?

Clinically, it is divided into two types: acute and chronic. The former has an acute onset, and the symptoms are more typical and easy to diagnose, but the symptoms in infancy are atypical and diagnosis is often difficult. Chronic and recurrent infections can cause kidney damage. Children with recurrent infections are often accompanied by abnormal urinary system structures. The cause should be carefully investigated to relieve congenital obstruction and prevent kidney damage and scar formation. Urinary tract infection is a common disease in children, mainly caused by E. coli, followed by infections such as Proteobacterium, Aerobacterium, and E. coli, and a small number are caused by Staphylococcus aureus.

Causes of Urinary Tract Infection in Men:

1. Most urinary tract infections are caused by bacteria, such as E. coli, E. coli, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, etc. Most acute and uncomplicated urinary tract infections are caused by E. coli, and the least common is coccal infection.

2. The incidence of fungal urinary tract infections is gradually increasing, mostly due to the frequent use of antibiotics.

3. Other urinary tract abnormalities: There are many acquired factors that cause urinary tract abnormalities, such as neurogenic bladder incontinence, foreign bodies, tumors, stenosis, and changes caused by trauma, surgery, or radiation, which lead to reduced bladder emptying function and increased residual urine volume. If the intraluminal pressure of the urinary tract increases or a certain section of the urinary tract is over-dilated, or there is a urinary tract catheter, bacteria enter the bladder and easily multiply, leading to the occurrence of urinary tract infection.

4. Viruses are also one of the causes of male urinary tract infection. Gonorrheal urinary tract infection is a sexually transmitted disease that is widely prevalent in the world.

5. Male prostatitis, prostatic hyperplasia and other diseases can also cause symptoms of urinary tract infection. Prostatic hypertrophy can block the urethra and cause incomplete urination. The antibacterial ability of prostatic fluid in the elderly is weak. In addition, the bacteria of prostatitis can easily invade the bladder and cause urinary tract infection. If accompanied by prostatic stones, the chance of infection is also increased, and the infection is difficult to eliminate.

Urethritis is a disease that harms the body, and patients need to be treated early. If urethritis is not treated or is not cured for a long time, it will seriously threaten men's reproductive health. Once a patient is infected, because bacteria often lurk in the urethra, especially the posterior urethra and enter the urethral crypts, paraurethral glands, urethral bulbs, prostate and seminal vesicles, they can also invade the vas deferens, epididymis and testicles, causing a series of complications.

The above is an introduction to the causes of male urinary tract infection. Therefore, men should also pay attention to the hygiene of the genitals in their daily lives, take frequent baths to clean the genitals, and reduce the invasion of bacteria and urinary tract infection. In addition, diabetic patients have a high probability of urinary tract infection, so they should focus on light diet and avoid eating foods that are too sweet or too irritating.
