Your Mother and Her Frequent UTI's Possible Link to PC?

Posted by jayhall @jayhall, Oct 29 3:20pm

My mom gets UTI's 3-4 times a year. The treatment is always the same Antibiotics, Fluids etc. and Lots and Lots of peeing. My mom is in her 90s and I'm wondering if there's a link between Mothers that get frequent UTI's and their sons getting PC is this a known risk? or a genetic defect that causes PC in males later on? Anyone care to share if their Mother had frequent UTI's.

Very interesting question. I've done extensive research and never heard a connection between mothers UTI's and sons prostate. Frequent UTI's in women in their 80's & 90's is very common.

What would be more of concern is something that has been proven to be genetic like BRCA2, etc.
