Dear Mr Jchc
Even a single episode of urinary tract infection in male requires detailed investigation and workup to know the cause of infection. Male urethra is longer than female urethra so it's unlikely for infection to spread in case of male urethra.
As you mentioned you are having one more episode this time. It would be more helpful if you could provide additional details
1. Is there associated fever
2. What are urinary symptoms you are having like burning sensation in urine
3. Is there any pain in abdomen?
4. Are you presently on any medication.
Do get back to me with the details so that I am able to assist you.
Take Care
Best Regards
