I know that a UTI can be a sign of prostate cancer.But, my question is, after surgery, recovery, post radiation treatment, everything has healed for 6 months; is it common for men to have UTI's? My hubby's symptoms are back pain and burning during urination, he also has had stones in the past....so I'm not sure what we are dealing with. Of course I am going to call his urologist, but I am always happy to hear the "been there, done that" advice that we get here.  Linb1414 Fri, 25 Apr 2008 00:00:00 GMT  On 4/25/2008 Linb1414 wrote:I know that typically UTI's are not common in men.

Obviously treatment for the UTI is essential, otherwise it may become a chronic problem or worse.Good luck,K.D.

We now think it was a stone. He had a UA done last week, it was clear except for some calcium oxalate crystals (which is the most common thing kidney stones are made from). More importantly is PSA is <0.1, which is what I was REALLY concerned about! He sees the urologist in two weeks. Thanks again,lin   Linb1414 Sat, 17 May 2008 00:00:00 GMT
