Brief Answer:
Yes, it is likely for men to get urinary infections

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to "Ask a Doctor" service,

I carefully read your query and understand your concern.

Urinary infections are more common in women than in men but they may happen in men as well.
Men can get cystitis, which is an infection of the bladder and causes frequent urination and discomfort with urination. Sometimes, the infection may ascend to the kidneys as well and cause more severe infection with back pain and fever other than the urinary symptoms mentioned in the case of cystitis.

In men over 40 years of age, the prostate may cause symptoms similar to urinary infection, especially in the case of prostatitis (infection of the prostate).

If you have any urinary symptoms (burning or frequency) or any fever and back pain, it may be advisable to have a urinalysis to make sure if an infection is present or not. A urine culture can be done as well to determine the antibiotic that would be more suitable in your case.
Sometimes, an ultrasound is needed to check the kidneys, the bladder, and the prostate and make sure these are normal.

Meanwhile, you need to drink plenty of water to help flush the urinary system and probably prevent further worsening of your symptoms.

I hope this answers your query.
I remain at your disposal for further medical assistance.

Regards,
Dr. Antoneta Zotaj
General and Family Physician
