Common infections, sometimes with an underlying cause

Frequently asked questions
Why do some people get repeat UTIs?
Sometimes there is no clear reason, but repeated infections can point to an underlying problem in the bladder or kidneys. That is why recurrent cases may need further investigation.
Are UTIs different in men?
Infections can affect both sexes, and Mr Aldiwani assesses men and women. In men, infections can also involve the prostate, so the cause is looked at carefully.
Will I need antibiotics?
Typical infections are usually treated with antibiotics. Your urine results guide the choice, and any further tests depend on how often infections return.
When should I get urgent help?
If you have a fever, loin pain or feel very unwell with urinary symptoms, seek same-day medical advice rather than waiting for a clinic slot.
