UTI Treatment Online for Men
Get UTI treatment for men online from ChatWithDr. While urinary tract infections are less common in men, they can indicate underlying issues like enlarged prostate, kidney stones, or urethritis. Our board-certified doctors evaluate your symptoms — burning urination, frequent urgency, weak stream, cloudy urine, lower abdominal pain — and prescribe appropriate antibiotics including Bactrim, Ciprofloxacin, Levofloxacin, or Doxycycline. Male UTIs typically require longer antibiotic courses (7-14 days) to ensure complete clearance. Same-day online visit for $39.99, with a prescription sent to your pharmacy if appropriate. Available 24/7.

UTI (Men) Treatment Options
- Antibiotic Therapy — Longer course of antibiotics than typically prescribed for women — usually 7-14 days depending on the type and severity of infection.
- Pain Relief — Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) to relieve burning and urgency while antibiotics take effect.
- Underlying Cause Evaluation — Our doctors assess for prostate issues, kidney stones, or other contributing factors and may recommend follow-up testing.
When to Seek In-Person or Emergency Care
Seek immediate care if you experience high fever, severe flank or back pain, nausea/vomiting, inability to urinate, or blood clots in urine. These may indicate a kidney infection or serious complication requiring urgent treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are UTIs common in men?
UTIs are less common in men than women, but they do occur — especially in men over 50, those with enlarged prostates, kidney stones, or those who use catheters. About 12% of men will experience a UTI in their lifetime.
Can a male UTI be treated through telehealth?
Yes! Our board-certified doctors can evaluate your symptoms online and prescribe appropriate antibiotics. If your symptoms suggest a more complicated infection, they may recommend in-person follow-up or additional testing.
Why do men need longer antibiotic courses for UTIs?
Male UTIs often involve deeper tissues (like the prostate) that are harder for antibiotics to penetrate. A longer course — typically 7-14 days — ensures the infection is fully cleared and reduces the risk of recurrence.
Could my UTI symptoms be something else?
Yes, symptoms like burning urination and urgency can also be caused by prostatitis, STIs, or kidney stones. Our doctors will consider these possibilities and recommend appropriate evaluation.
Do I need a urine test?
For straightforward UTI symptoms, our doctors can often prescribe treatment based on your symptoms. For recurrent or complicated UTIs, they may recommend a urine culture at a local lab to identify the specific bacteria and ensure the right antibiotic is used.
Can I get UTI treatment without insurance?
Yes. The $39.99 consultation fee applies regardless of insurance status, and generic antibiotics for male UTIs typically cost $10–$35 out of pocket — no prior authorization required.
