A man with a urinary tract infection may have a discharge from his penis. A kidney infection due to UTI is more serious.

A male urinary tract infection with kidney infection may exhibit symptoms including:

a burning sensation when you urinate,
abdominal and lower back pain,
fever,
chills,
nausea,
the frequent need to urinate, and
cloudy or bloody urine.

Some sexually transmitted diseases can cause symptoms that look like a UTI.

For example, the chlamydia organism can cause urethritis.

For this reason, it is important to see a doctor for diagnosis if you have any symptoms of a urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection symptoms will also get worse if not treated.

Untreated UTIs can spread to the blood and cause a serious infection that can be fatal.

There are more specific signs and symptoms for each type of UTI. In addition to the symptoms listed above you may experience the following:

Acute pyelonephritis may cause flank pain, high fever, shaking chills and nausea or vomiting.
Cystitis may result in pressure in the lower abdomen and strong-smelling urine.
Urethritis may lead to pus in the urine. In men, urethritis may cause penile discharge.

Even though male urinary infections, especially boys and young men, are less common than in women, it is still important to recognize the UTI symptoms and get UTI treatment quickly.
