Frequent UTI: What You Need to Know

UTIs are a common source of urinary problems in men and women of all ages.  Common symptoms of UTI include bladder discomfort, pelvic pain, burning with urination, urge to urinate, and constant need to urinate.  Some patients with urinary tract infections might notice blood in urine, have difficulty passing urine, or have a sensation of incomplete bladder emptying. 

Fever is rare with simple UTIs but can occur if there is incomplete bladder emptying, kidney infection (pyelonephritis), prostatitis, or kidney stones.  Fever is a sign of severe UTI and requires prompt treatment.

Symptoms that men and women experience when they have a UTI are not specific to UTI.  Other medical problems, such as the overactive bladder, bladder stones, kidney stones, and bladder cancer, can cause similar symptoms.

Urinary tract infections are very common.  They are more common in women, but become more common in men as men age.  Most UTIs (urinary tract infections) are caused by bacteria, but may also be caused by a fungus (Candida), viruses, and atypical bacteria.

UTI and Sexual Activity

UTI can occur as a result of sexual activity, but many UTIs are not related to sexual activity.  Several different UTIs can be caused by sexual activity.  Vaginal, oral, and anal sex can cause UTI caused by different bacteria.  Urethritis is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that causes irritation, pain, discomfort, and possibly urethral discharge.

Some women are predisposed to UTI after sexual activity.  A number of effective approaches can minimize the risk of getting frequent UTIs after sex.

What is UTI?

UTI is an abbreviation that refers to Urinary Tract Infection.  A urinary tract infection simply means an infection of the urinary tract.  UTI can be a bladder infection, kidney infection, or urethral infection.  In men, bacterial prostatitis and epididymo-orchitis are often associated with UTI.  The causes of UTI in women are different from those in men.  Treatment of UTI in men is also different.

Symptoms of UTI

Symptoms of UTI vary depending on the organs involved.  It is important to note that symptoms of UTI may be caused by many other conditions.  It is important to actually verify the presence of UTI before treatment, as symptoms may be caused by other unrecognized medical problems.

A bladder infection can present with symptoms of bladder area or pelvic discomfort or mild pain, pain during urination, frequent urination, or difficulty urinating.  It can also cause blood in the urine.

Kidney infection can present with flank pain, nausea, and vomiting, as well as fever.  Typically, patients feel sicker when they have a kidney infection compared to a bladder infection.

Fever may or may not be present with a UTI.

Diagnosis of UTI

A positive urine culture is the standard method of diagnosing urinary tract infections in symptomatic men and women.  It is important to recognize that an atypical UTI may not grow on a urine culture.  STDs may be the source of UTI symptoms.  Some organisms, such as Ureaplasma, require specialized testing. 

Imaging studies of the urinary tract can help to identify anatomical (structural) abnormalities that predispose to infections.  Common tests performed for patients with recurrent UTI are bladder ultrasound with measurement of post-void residual volume, kidney ultrasound, or a CT scan to evaluate for kidney stones, hydronephrosis, and other abnormalities.  Cystoscopy may need to be performed for patients with frequent UTI symptoms to evaluate the urinary tract anatomy.
