Does having a UTI (urinary tract infection) increase risk of prostate cancer?
First – I’m not a doctor and I have feeling you should go see one if you haven’t already. (sounds like you did and your are just nervous.) Second – Urinary Tract Infection is a term that can mean any number of things. Bacterial infection, kidney issues, sexually transmitted infections, etc. So treatment will really depend upon what’s going on. The good news is that bacteria is a common thing and it might turn out that all you need are some anti-biotics. You might have kidney issues if you pee blood. Once again: good news – these things are treatable with medicine! Third – There are a million different cancer studies going on. The jury is still out on what does and what does not cause cancer. Prostate cancer is very treatable when it is caught early. Trust your doctor. And if you don’t, go to another one that you do.
