Treatment for a UTI should be designed for each patient individually and is usually based on the patient's underlying medical conditions, what pathogen(s) are causing the infection and the susceptibility of the pathogen(s) to treatments.

I drink a lot of water every day but I pee very frequently like within an hour after drinking 500ml. Is this a urinary problem? If I don't drink water, I can go 5 hours without feeling the urge. My dad recently had prostate surgery at 75 could I have something similar? Also, how do I bring up checking my testicles with the doc since it's related to my urinary issues? Should I get any tests done to figure this out?

Peeing frequently is often the result of drinking too much fluid but can indicate conditions such as urethritis or urinary tract infections. Urinating is how the body removes waste fluids. Urine, which contains water, uric acid, urea, and toxins, stays in the bladder until it reaches a point of fullness.
