Not necessarily bacterial infections, but epididymitis, cystitis, nephritis, urethritis, renal
lithiasis, etc. When the wrong fluid travels the wrong way or urine doesn't move out of the kidneys and bladder, men can have all sorts of issues "down there." that can cause a huge amount of pain.
I have had 3 or 4 bouts of kidney stones in the pas three years, that were urate based. People get them, but I have normal uric acid levels and no gout.
