Hi I'm very concerned for my husband (I'm the worst worrier ever and jump to worst possible scenario no matter what it's always been a dreadful trait of mine sad )

Anyway my husband was treated for a water infection 2 and half weeks ago he is only 29. The only symptom he had what he described to me was a light ache in his lower stomach as if he needed to go but he said it wasn't a sudden urge just a light one. Anyway his r nine was sent of and he did have an infection and the antibiotics cleared it up.

Several days after stopping them the feeling came back so he is now back on antibiotics he has been on them 3 days and says the feeling has gone again. Which is good but I can't help but think something terrible is going off.

I need to add that also over the weekend he had about 3 hours of intense low stomach pain which was very severe we ended up at a walk in centre he could barely move. I don't no if this is related to his problems or a case of ibs which he gets odd times.

He isn't so getting up during the night to urinate, he says he hasn't got any weak flow or stop starting ect. His GP doesn't seem.worried. obviously if the feelings come back I'm straight back to the GP with him! Does anyone on here had anything simular? ? Thank you for.your time.

    Only a guess but might have been bladder spasms. Seen some guys say they can get very painful.

      Thank you it would.make sense. If the feeling comes back after these antibiotics he obviously needs more testing. Are water infections quite common in men then?

      Not sure how common it is. Bladder spasms can be triggered by a couple things. Usually after certain tests or prostate surgery. It's a muscle that doesn't like being touched. Being on a Cath can set it off. They usually give you something to prevent spasms when cathed after surgery. They did for me.

      Hi david thank you for your reply. So did you start with a light ache in your bladder? He says it's not painful just almost as if he needs to lightly wee.

    He does not seem to be exhibiting classic prostate symptons, but if he continues to have signs of infection in his urine it should be investigated further by his GP and, if necessary, reterral to a specialist
