Q: what are the causes of uti and what foods u should avoid in uti?

: No foods cause or protect against UTI. Also, UTIs are rare in men your age. If you have painful urination and urinary urgency ("Gotta go right now!"), you may have a UTI. If only painful urination or if any discharge, you have an STD, which often is misdiagnosed as UTI by non-expert health professionals. Of course no STD is possible if you have not had sex. Find a knowledgeable doc or clinic.
