Urology

What are Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)?

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.

Treatment Details

Management focuses on accurate identification of the underlying cause and targeted antibiotic therapy.

Diagnostic Focus Key Management Strategies
Culture & Sensitivity Identifying the specific bacteria and the correct antibiotic to prevent resistance.
Structural Assessment Cystoscopy (visual inspection of the bladder) and imaging to rule out stones, strictures, or BPH.
Recurrent UTI Identification and management of the underlying cause, often requiring correction of BPH or addressing prostate inflammation.

The Kalix Approach

Our specialists treat UTIs as a symptom that demands an investigation into the cause, not just the infection itself.

  1. Definitive Cause Finding: We prioritise finding and correcting the underlying anatomical or functional issue that is predisposing the patient to recurrence, particularly in men.
  2. Preventive Strategy: Once the cause is corrected (e.g., BPH treated), we provide a long-term preventive strategy to minimise future antibiotic exposure.
  3. Co-ordinated Care: We ensure close communication with your GP regarding culture results and complex antibiotic regimens, maintaining a unified approach to your health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do men need specialized care for a UTI?

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.

Is a UTI always treated with antibiotics?

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.
