Need a doctor eval: Uti in men is different than women. It needs a close look by a doctor to rule out stones an obstruction. You will need an ultrasound. Especially recurrent infection or difficult to treat, need a urologist attention. This is very important to guard against complications including kidney disease and infection.

Need a doctor: Persistent UTI requires special attention and evaluation by a doctor, preferably a urologist. An ultrasound is needed to rule out stone disease and obstruction. This will diagnose and treat the problem and prevent complications like kidney disease or infection.
