Chances of getting urethral stricture

Question

Asked for Male, 22 Years

I was diagnosed with a UTI around 20 days after first symptom appearance, since the uti was resistant to the medication i was initially given it kept occuring every 10 days before finally getting the right treatment 20 days later. Could this be classified as a chronic uti and could this increase my chances of developing a urethral stricture? The bacteria detected in culture was Klebsiella SPP.

As you are a male, thorough work up for the cause of UTI has to be done, which includes USG KUB with PVR, UFR etc. more than chronic UTI you should be worried about recurrent UTI. there are chances of stricture( especially if instrumentation is done in the past)
