Hi
The answer to your question is yes.steroids have the potential to lower your immunity and thus make you prone to infections such as urinary tract symptoms which you are referring to.they have also got potential to cause edema.
I would suggest you to meet internal medicine specialist.
Thanks.
Wish you good health
