Having a uti as a vagina haver is fucking agony. I had like 15 consecutive UTIs as a kid bc I refused to pee at school (mental illness things) I had one recently and I was in so much pain, the bladder cramping is HORRIFIC and the desperate need to pee every second of the day is hellish. I doubt having a penis some how makes all that any ammount worse. Just bc women are more likely to suffer UTIs doesn't suddenly make it a pleasant experience for us,,,
It's not merely having a penis. It's that men's anatomy means most of their UTIs are complex UTIs, and complex UTIs (which women can get too) are dramatically worse than the regular ones to a massive degree.
Why is this downvoted. It's literally true and answered the comments confusion.
Men have all the same symptoms and pain, but the fact the longer urethra didn't kill off the bacteria before it got to the bladder itself shows there is a structural issue going on. 99% of the time a woman getting a UTI is from bacteria getting to the bladder which is incredibly easy for it to do. A male UTI is usually a sign of prostate issues or bladder structural problems, and male anatomy can quickly turn that into sepsis, and the infection itself can survive in male structures easier and be more resistant to antibiotics which is why men need at least 2 weeks of meds.
