Chronic uti?

i am 20 years old male.. and had gerd from last month.. now i have some uti when i had my urinalysis i have a 10-15hpf of pus cells.M y doctor talled me that i should drink lots of water, and i did. and of taking in antibiotics named "Ciprofloxacin" for a week.  i got an hpf of 2-4pus cells after a week of diagnosis.  I was confident that i was cured of my illness and stopped taking in antibiotics. After a few days, it hurts while peeing when i am dehydrated... but when i am hydrated it doesn't hurt anymore.. it just kept on coming back.. i am bit worried that it might strike anytime.. and i don't want a surgery. Is this something more than uti?

I don't wanna see a doctor because i have a very busy schedule and i have been in and out of the hospital for a week.


What could be the possible cause of this symptoms.. can anyone help me??

Hello,
I know that suffering from recurrent UTI’s is really very painful. In males, as you know UTI’s are quite rare but unfortunately once the males get the UTI’s, they become difficult to treat. Important things to be ruled out for recurrent UTI’s in a male are :-
1. Diabetes
2. Any urinary obstruction commonly due to stones/strictures
3. Any congenital abnormality in the urinary tract
4. Chronic prostatitis
He should definitely see a urologist and will need further tests to rule out these possibilities. For e.g. an USG of the kidneys,ureters and bladder, IVU etc.
I sincerely hope that helps. Please do keep me posted. Warm regards.
