It is rare that males get UTI's but on the other hand of course it is possible. I know it is somewhat unorthodoxed for one to wash their hands before using the restroom however, if you think about it the fingers are 10 dirtiest things on the body and the main cause of bacteria entering the body. Another reason could be holding urine in too long such as having a busy job which prevents one from going when the urge is there. If one has had a catheter recently secondary to surgery or a recent hospitalization which required cauterization could be the culprit as well. If one thinks about it, it is not that hard to get bacteria in that area; one can even get one by going for a swim. Please do not assume or self diagnose and always f/u with a doctor, because it could be something more serious. Take care, Jupiter's Dawn

In males, it seems possible since the sperm cells pass through the urinary tract. As they are cells can be infected by bacterial or other micro-pathogens to become sterile and ineffective in fertility of the ovum. A more likely cause for infertility would be organ damage, and the testes are quite a ways from the areas that tend to get infected. In females the urinary tract is distinctly separate and in no way can effect fertility unless bacterial infection enters the female reproductive tract to infect the ovum or cause internal damage. It won't affect fertility in females as the urinary tract has nothing to do with the genital tract.
