Patient's question:
My urethra is often red. At first, I didn't pay attention, but recently every time I urinate, I feel uncomfortable and have a strong urge, yet very little urine comes out. I'm worried it might be a urinary tract infection. What medicine should men take for a urinary tract infection?Doctor's answer:
After a male suffers from a urinary tract infection, the first step is to start anti-inflammatory treatment to control the infection and prevent the condition from worsening. Therefore, oral antibiotics such as cephalexin or amoxicillin can be considered. During this period, the medication can be selected based on the type of bacterial infection. If the individual has developed acute uncomplicated cystitis, oral levofloxacin or the prescribed re-examination can be taken for antibacterial treatment.
