Dangers of UTIs in Men

“It’s a medical emergency, especially in an over the age of 65.”

After a few days in the hospital, former President Bill Clinton is said to be on the mend. Doctors say the 75-year-old developed a urinary tract infection which spread to his bloodstream, a dangerous illness called Sepsis.

“About 25% of all Sepsis cases start as urinary tract infections and then it proceeded to the blood.”

Urinary tract infections are common in older people, but can be difficult to . Some symptoms include confusion, weakness and muscle aches.

“Left untreated it has a very high mortality rate.”

Early detection is key to the easily treatable infection. Doctors were able to administer antibiotics and fluids to help Clinton. While urinary tract infections are most common in women, thousands of men get them every year, possibly due to incomplete emptying of the bladder or the hygiene challenges. The risk of infection increases with age.

“It just goes to show you how fragile things can get as you get older and you have to have… be alert to telltale signs of extreme fatigue or fever or or cold.”

The former President’s infection appears to have been caught early. Doctors say he will likely be switched to oral antibiotics soon.
