Male UTI: Uti's in males are uncommon; may be due to structural deformities (usually picked up at early age). In older men, may be due to partial outlet obstruction from enlarged prostate; may prevent complete emptying of bladder; residual urine gets infected. Nerve injuries affecting bladder function may prevent complete emptying & require catheterization. Indwelling Foley catheters can b cause. See pcp.

Needs to be checked: There are many reasons for a man to get bladder infections. These could include an enlarged prostate, urtehral stricture, and kidney stones just to name a few. You need to see a urologist to have the appropriate testing.
