Tests Urologists Use to Diagnose Recurrent UTIs in Men

When men experience recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs), urologists perform a series of tests to identify the root cause, rule out underlying conditions, and develop an effective treatment plan.

1. Urinalysis & Urine Culture

A urinalysis is a basic test that examines a urine sample for signs of infection. If an infection is detected, a urine culture is performed to identify the specific bacteria causing the UTI. This helps determine the most effective antibiotic for treatment.

2. Post-Void Residual (PVR) Test

The PVR test measures how much urine remains in the bladder after urination. A urologist will use either an ultrasound or a catheter to check for incomplete bladder emptying. When urine is left behind in the bladder, it provides a breeding ground for bacteria, increasing the risk of recurrent infections.

3. Cystoscopy

A cystoscopy is a procedure in which a thin, flexible tube with a camera is inserted through the urethra to examine the bladder and urinary tract for abnormalities. This test helps detect urethral strictures (narrowing of the urethra), bladder stones, tumors, or chronic inflammation that may be contributing to recurrent UTIs. If any irregularities are found, further treatment options such as urethral dilation, surgery, or medication may be recommended.

4. Imaging Tests (Ultrasound, CT Scan, or MRI)

Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI are used to get a detailed view of the kidneys, bladder, and urinary tract. These tests help detect kidney stones, prostate enlargement, bladder wall thickening, tumors, or abscesses that might be contributing to frequent infections.
