UTI is not very common in males less than 50 years. It may be due to dehydration and poor hygiene in males less than 50 years.For more than 50 years enlarged prostate is common cause.
Common investigation:
1. CBC and urine routine followed by culture and sensitivity.
2. USG might be required to rule out stones
Next Steps
1. If fever with chills take Paracetamol 650 mg 3 times for 3 days
2. Antibiotics may be required
Health Tips
Consult a doctor based on your blood and urine report for starting appropriate antibiotics
