Urinary Tract Infections

WHAT IS A URINARY TRACT INFECTION (UTI)?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) affects the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Sometimes called a bladder infection, this acute issue is more common in women than men. Symptoms of UTI’s can include:

• A strong urge to urinate
• Cloudy or pink-colored urine
• Pelvic pain
• Passing small amounts of urine at a time
• A burning feeling while urinating

HOW ARE URINARY TRACT INFECTIONS TREATED?

Urinary tract infections are treated during urgent care visits. Your Provider will talk with you about your symptoms and health history. A urine sample will be taken that will allow us to detect the presence of bacteria that are involved with a urinary tract infection. Because UTI’s are typically bacterial infections, most simple cases can be treated with a round of antibiotics. More complicated UTI’s might require a longer course of antibiotics, and pain medications can also be prescribed to ease any discomfort, like burning when you urinate. In addition, be sure to drink plenty of water to help your body flush away the bacteria.
