Bladder Infection in a males is Different.

Urinary tract infection (UTI) symptoms in men, such as cystitis, can be both uncomfortable and worrying. Unlike in women, a UTI in men is classified as a “complicated UTI,” often indicating an underlying urinary system issue that requires thorough medical evaluation.

We prioritise your peace of mind by going beyond treating the immediate infection. Our comprehensive diagnostic approach identifies the root cause, ensuring we address the problem effectively and prevent recurrence.

UTI Root Cause Diagnosis

As a consultant urologist, I focus on diagnosing and treating urinary tract infections in men by pinpointing their underlying cause. My approach targets issues such as prostate conditions or urinary tract blockages to provide effective, lasting solutions.

  • You get a comprehensive diagnostic assessment, moving beyond a simple urine test to investigate your entire urinary system.
  • We utilise advanced diagnostics, such as an ultrasound or a cystoscopy (a camera examination of the bladder), to get a clear picture of your health.
  • This means you receive a targeted treatment plan that addresses both the infection and the underlying cause, significantly reducing the risk of it coming back.

All consultations and procedures are conducted at our leading private hospital locations: Spire Little Aston Hospital in Sutton Coldfield and Spire Parkway Hospital in Solihull.

Male UTI Diagnosis: Key Questions Answered

A urinary tract infection (UTI) in men is a serious matter that requires expert attention to safeguard your long-term urinary health. Schedule a confidential consultation with our clinic today for a thorough diagnosis.

Unlike in women, cystitis in men is often linked to underlying conditions, making it a “complicated UTI” that requires specialist investigation.

A cystoscopy involves examining the bladder with a small camera to detect abnormalities or causes of infection, providing critical insights for accurate diagnosis.

Common causes include prostate enlargement, urinary tract blockages, or other structural issues that require targeted treatment.

  • Men’s UTIs often require more extensive investigation and tailored treatments to address underlying issues, beyond the standard antibiotics used for women.

Yes, the treatment is different. While the immediate treatment for the bacterial infection involves a course of antibiotics for both, the plan for a man is more comprehensive. Men often require a longer course of antibiotics, typically for seven to fourteen days. Most importantly, the treatment is twofold: it includes the antibiotic to clear the infection and a specific treatment to address the underlying cause (like a prostate issue), which is the only way to effectively prevent the infection from returning.

Our comprehensive, specialist-led approach ensures a thorough diagnosis and personalised treatment plan, prioritising long-term health over quick fixes.


When you are treated by us, your procedure takes place in a state-of-the-art surgical theatre at Spire Little Aston Hospital, not a multi-purpose clinic or treatment room.

During any operation, I am supported by an excellent and experienced team of interventional radiologists, anaesthetists, specialist nursing staff, and dedicated support teams. This collaborative, hospital-based approach is vital for ensuring the highest standards of medical safety and care.

Furthermore, our care package is all-inclusive. This means that your journey with us doesn’t end when you leave the hospital. All necessary follow-up appointments and the management of any post-operative concerns are handled directly by us, in the same private hospital setting. You can be assured that you will not be ‘palmed off’ to the NHS; you receive continuous, seamless care from our team from your first consultation to your full recovery.

Causes of Cystitis in Male’s

  • Enlarged Prostate Gland: The most frequent cause, especially in men over 50, as it can impede urine flow and prevent complete bladder emptying.
  • Urinary System Blockage: Conditions like kidney or bladder stones that obstruct the urinary tract.
  • Recent Urinary Catheter Use: Catheters can introduce bacteria into the bladder, leading to infection.
  • Prostate Infection (Prostatitis): An infection within the prostate gland itself.
  • Congenital Urinary Tract Abnormality: Structural issues present from birth that affect the urinary system.

Symptoms of Cystitis in Male’s:

  • Frequent and urgent need to urinate, often passing only small amounts.
  • Burning or stinging sensation during or right after urination.
  • Cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine.
  • Presence of blood in the urine.
  • Pain or pressure in the lower abdomen or lower back.
  • General feelings of malaise, fatigue, or fever.
