Question: Please I have a male and I have urinary tract infection please what can I do to stop this immediately
Answer: Hello

Thank you for using Wellvis Urinary tract infections UTIs are broadly classified into upper tract and lower tract UTIs The lower tract involves the bladder and the urethra while the upper tract involves the kidneys and ureters Treatment options and duration differ based on the specific type of UTI A few more specific questions can help tease out the type you may have

It is also important not just to treat a urinary tract infection but to also endeavour to know what predisposed the person to it in order to prevent future recurrences 

Women are generally more easily predisposed to UTIs because the urethra in women is relatively short Some of the factors that may predispose men to UTIs include poor urine outflow from prostate enlargement or urethral strictures urinary tract stones or sexually transmitted infections

Please consider a private chat to any of the doctors on this platform to see how we can specifically be of help to you

Cheers
