Bladder infection in men

Although bladder infections are more common in women, men can get them too. Signs and symptoms of bladder infection, also called cystitis, in men include

  • Urinating often.
  • Strong, constant urge to urinate.
  • Burning or tingling feeling during or just after urination.
  • Low-grade fever.
  • Cloudy or bloody urine with a strong odor.
  • Trouble urinating, especially if you have a prostate health issue.

You may be more likely to develop a bladder infection if you:

  • Have an enlarged prostate, also called benign prostatic hyperplasia.
  • Have kidney stones.
  • Have diabetes.
  • Have narrowing of the tube that carries urine out of your body, also called urethral stricture.
  • Had a tube that drains your bladder, also called a urinary catheter.
  • Had a procedure done where an instrument was inserted into the tip of the penis.

Bladder infection treatment depends on the cause, but it typically includes antibiotics.
