YOGYAKARTA - Your urinary tract includes parts of your body that make urine and carry it out of your body. Then what causes male urinary tract infections?

For men, this part includes the kidneys and bladder, as well as the uASTER and uretra. Ureters are twin tubes that carry urine from the kidneys to your bladder. Your image is a single tube that carries urine from your bladder through your prostate and to the ends of your penis.

If unhealthy bacteria accumulate anywhere in your urinary tract, this can cause infection. And while urinary tract infections (ISK) are more common in women, men can also get them.

The most common cause of ISK in uretra is sexual infectious disease. Klamidia and gonore are two PMS that can lead to ISK. PMS is also the most common cause of ISK in younger men.

Prostate problems can also cause ISK. Prostate massiveness (BPH) often occurs in older men and can block urine flow. This can increase the possibility of bacteria piling up and causing ISK.

Prostatitis, which is a prostate infection, has many of the same symptoms as the ISK.

Diabetes and other medical problems affecting the immune system can also make you more likely to be affected by the ISK.

ISK Complication

If not treated, lower urinary tract infections can spread to your kidneys. Doctors can usually treat kidney infections. In rare cases, untreated kidney infection can cause chronic kidney disease or kidney failure. kidney infection can be serious, because it can cause sepsis (infection in the bloodstream). If that happens and you feel very sick, you may need to be hospitalized.

Preventing ISK
