You should be consulting this with a doctor instead of people on Yahoo Answers.

The American Urological Association encourages men in good health to have annual PSA testing starting at age 50, or at age 40 if they're in high-risk groups, such as black men or those with a father, brother or son with the disease. The American Cancer Society, on the other hand, recommends that doctors offer the tests to men age 50 and older who expect to live another 10 years, and test men at high risk if they're age 45 and older. Both groups also suggest that a DRE be done in conjunction with the PSA test. Though the DRE doesn't help find prostate cancer as well as does the PSA test, it can sometimes help find cancers in men with normal PSA levels.

While Sean's answer is mostly correct, I disagree with his editorial comment.\n\nDifferent things cause inflammation - infection is one class of things that can cause them. In this case, infections in the urinary tract such as in the bladder are urinary tract infections (UTIs) - one involving the bladder is cystitis.\n\nInfections in other parts of the body can cause inflammatory changes in the bladder as well - for example in people with appendicitis, one can see inflammatory changes in the bladder or in the ureters. This is because inflammatory cells in one part of the body will release cytokines which can flow to another. Cells in other parts of the body will respond to those cytokines and may generate inflammatory changes.\n\nCancer is another situation in which there may be inflammatory changes without infection. \n\nSimilarly traumatic injuries whether non-intentional or intentional (surgery) will cause inflammatory changes.\n\nOther disease processes such as lupus or sarcoidosis may cause inflammatory changes as well, although rarer in the bladder.\n\nI'm not sure if I agree that the female bladder is less susceptible than the male bladder to inflammator attacks though. It is a fact that women do get more UTIs than men do after the first year of age. This is because the distance between the bladder and the outside of the body is much longer in men than in women - due to the differences in the length of the urethra. Consequently it is easier for bacteria to get from the outside into the bladder (which is normally a sterile environment) in women than in men. However, this would also mean that when men do get urinary tract infections, it may mean that its a more virulent strain of bacteria that gets there.\n\nAnecdotally, it does seem like I see more male nursing home patients presenting with bad cases of UTIs as opposed to female patients. Of course, I haven't taken a look at the specific numbers though. This may be due more to the presence of prostate problems in elderly men though.

It would depend on if the prostate itself is swollen and choking off the urethra (which is one of the same symptoms of benign prostate hypertrophy AKA BPH). Frequent urination or the sensation of needing to go but can't is quite common. In both cases, the person needs to see a urologist. He most likely will conduct a PSA test, the normal range for that test is 0-4. A digital exam will also help determine if there is any hardening of the prostate indicating a tumor. There is much more involved, however, if you are 50 or over, you should get a PSA test done once a year. My husband was fine last year then this year he had stage 3 prostate cancer that was discovered with the yearly test.\n\nI wish you the best!

with that many pus cells, it would still be worthwhile taking treatment for a probable urinary tract infection. Persistent infection can cause growth retardation of the baby

A UTI(Urine Track infection) it can be of a few diffrent origins. It can be an infection of the kidneys, ureters,or the bladder caused by microgrnisms that either ascend frin tthe urethra(95% of the cases are of this orgin) or that is spread to the kidney for the bloodstream(5%) . About 7 millon American patients visit a health care provider each year because of a UTI. These infections commonly occur inotherwise healthy women men and childeren with prostatic hypertrophy or bladder outlet obstruction, and in children with congential anatomical abnnormalities of the urninary tract, and patients who have just had a catheters, \nMost UTIS are caused by  eschericha coli which causes 80 percent staphyiciccys saorophyticus is another common intruder. There are many more diffrent orgnisims that are responsible. \nThe symptoms of a urinary tract infection ... vary enormously.. it can be pain with urination.. frequency or urgency... pelvic pain or suprapubic discomfort. a low grade fever..or a change in the apperance or the smell of the urine. I suspect that your not an elderly person they could be confused having the fever, and even a coma this is only in a very sever case. \nNext your going to wonder how did I get this... basically 95 pr cent occur because the little bug travels up your urethia into your bladder or where ever it decides to cause the turmoil. It can cause burning when you pass urine also. But it can be cause by a STD if that is what your wondering.. this can be casued by a yeast infection, or any other STD or it can be caused by any orgnisim that has traveled in and up into your body. \nSome young brides or in modern times young women who are just starting to have intercourse in a frequent pattern can have an irritation that would resemble a uti.. also to prevent utis women should pass urine before intercourse and aftwards... drinking plenty of clear liquids can help to avoid this uncomfortable situation.. old wifes tales spoke of consuming cranberry juice there is some natural chemical that sooths and helps the infections to subside.. If you have blood or pus in your urine I dont suggest any home remidy but you will need to seek medical attention so to avoid its spread to the kidneys.. One would get them becuse the bug has decided that it likes you and want to annoy you so it takes up residence in your bladder ect... Any way best of luck always avoid sugar and coffee tight fitting panites and nylon panties or nylons these can contribute to a yeast infection which can spread to the uti...

Yes, you can have UTI without burning. The best way to rule out any other possibility is to get a CAT scan abd/ pelvis. This would tell you if you have any other abnormality including ovarian vs stone in the ureters. \nUTI or pyelonephritis could be diagnosed with Blood test looking for elevated WBC or by obtaining urinalysis.

A PSA count of 0 to 4 ng/ml is considered below normal (and in some men, 1.0 or 2.0) is normal.\n\nA PSA count of 4 to 10 ng/ml is considered slightly elevated. \n\nA PSA count of 10 to 20 ng/ml is considered moderately elevated.\n\nAnything above 20 ng/ml is considered highly elevated.

It could also be pus in your urine (called pyuria).  You definitely need to go see your doctor and have it checked out though.

Your urologist has probably treated this condition previously and knows the necessary dosing period.\n\nMost infections only require a couple weeks of treatment, hence 10-14 days.  Unless prescribed by a physician you shouldn't take an antibiotic for extended periods.

Hey, well a urinary tract infection can be acquired through sexual intercourse. Actually, men can have a uti and never show symptoms and can pass on to his partner...(even though both male and female can contract a uti) what i am saying is that women are more prone to show symptoms such as mild burning when urinating and an uncomfortable feeling as if you have to pee all the time. \n\nIf you think you have a UTI the fastest method of curing it is antibiotics and a lot of cranberry juice. \nAlso, help prevent a UTI its also good to urinate after having sex. \n\nThere are other causes for a  UTI...check out my source of info to find out more.

The answer is yes...you should be treated. Even if you do not have symptoms (such as increased frequency of urination, pain while urinating or cloudy urine), the presence of WBC and a significant bacterial growth found in your urine are reasons enough to get you started on antibiotics. \n\nGet your doctor's opinion on the best antibiotic for you :)

Could be; (1) a urinary tract infection; (2) anxiety; and (3) enlarged prostate.\n\nRelax when you urinate.  Give yourself time to get out as much urine as possible.\n\nA quick way to alleviate an infection down there:  Drink cranberry juice -- the good kind made out of 100% juice.  There is an acid in there that makes your urine even more acid and bacteria holding onto the walls of the urethra let loose when they encounter increased acidity.  Also drink plenty of water.\n\nIf the problem persists much longer, I suggest you visit your family physician and perhaps a urologist.\n\nGood luck.  Rest assured, you are not the first or last guy to experience this problem.  You'll find a solution.

Probably not likely... I would suspect if anything the reverse would be true.  That is, bacteria from the kidney infection would get down into your bladder and irritate it, causing it to act "overactive".  Overactive bladder's main symptom is causing you to urinate more, which if anything would be likely to help you flush infecting organisms out of your body more frequently, especially if you're doing what you should be doing and drinking a lot of water.\n\n   Another condition you might want to be checked for, though, is "urinary reflux" -- where some of the urine flows back from your bladder up into your kidneys instead of coming out the way it's supposed to when you try to urinate.  That would cause frequent urination AND make you more susceptible to bladder and kidney infections, since it gets bacteria flowing in the wrong direction through your urinary tract.  I'd suggest seeing a urologist and having them check you out for that.  Good luck!
