Urinary tract infection inflammation can cause fever?

Patient's question:

Male, 42 years old, urinating from the left posterior waist has the potential for transmission, weakness, lasting for two days. Can a urethral infection and inflammation cause a fever?

Doctor's answer:

Urinary tract infections in adult women primarily manifest as urinary tract irritation, including frequent urination, urinary urgency, and dysuria, leukocyturia, and occasionally hematuria, even gross hematuria. Generally, there are no obvious systemic infectious symptoms, but a very small number of patients may experience back pain, low-grade fever, and leukocyte counts often do not rise. Urinary tract infections are mostly caused by Escherichia coli. Compared to this condition, patients should, in addition to necessary treatment, also pay attention to their daily care, ensuring a good lifestyle, so that they can overcome the disease as soon as possible.
