Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections, but when they are recurrent, complicated, or affect men, they require specialised urological assessment. In men, UTIs are often a symptom of an underlying structural issue (e.g., BPH, bladder stone, or prostate infection) that must be definitively diagnosed and treated to prevent recurrence.
Management focuses on accurate identification of the underlying cause and targeted antibiotic therapy.
Identifying the specific bacteria and the correct antibiotic to prevent resistance.
Cystoscopy (visual inspection of the bladder) and imaging to rule out stones, strictures, or BPH.
Identification and management of the underlying cause, often requiring correction of BPH or addressing prostate inflammation.
Our specialists treat UTIs as a symptom that demands an investigation into the cause, not just the infection itself.
We prioritise finding and correcting the underlying anatomical or functional issue that is predisposing the patient to recurrence, particularly in men.
Once the cause is corrected (e.g., BPH treated), we provide a long-term preventive strategy to minimise future antibiotic exposure.
We ensure close communication with your GP regarding culture results and complex antibiotic regimens, maintaining a unified approach to your health.
Kalix works with a network of trusted specialists across surgery, medicine, and allied health. Every clinician within the Kalix ecosystem is selected for their depth of expertise in their field.
Unlike in women, a UTI in a man is rarely simple and usually indicates an anatomical problem, such as an issue with the prostate (BPH or prostatitis) that traps bacteria. A urologist is needed to diagnose and correct this underlying cause.
While antibiotics are the standard for active infection, our management also includes addressing the root cause and providing non-antibiotic preventive strategies (e.g., lifestyle, supplements) to reduce future reliance on medication.
Start with your concern. Kalix will guide the rest.
