A member asked:
Dad's urine tube suddenly hurting. hurts when laying down + sitting. is it an infection or smthg worse? what can he take otc?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
He probably has a urinary tract infection, increasingly common as men age usually due to partial blockage of flow by an enlarging prostate. There are no OTC treatments; he needs to see a doctor ASAP for diagnosis and probably an antibiotic prescription. Under-treatment of male UTI can rapidly lead to kidney infection and sepsis. See a doctor ASAP; urgent care today if pain is severe or has fever.
