A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs involve the bladder and urethra and are caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract.

UTIs are typically caused by bacteria, most commonly Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally live in the intestines. These bacteria can enter the urinary tract through the urethra and multiply in the bladder.

While anyone can get a UTI, they are more common in women due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria easier access to the bladder. Other risk factors include sexual activity, certain types of birth control, menopause, and urinary tract abnormalities.

UTIs are diagnosed through a urine test that checks for the presence of bacteria and white blood cells. A healthcare provider may also perform a urine culture to identify the specific type of bacteria causing the infection.

Common symptoms include a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, frequent urination of small amounts, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain in women or rectal pain in men.

UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. The type and duration of antibiotic treatment depend on the severity of the infection and the patient's medical history.

Yes, UTIs can often be prevented by drinking plenty of water, urinating frequently, wiping from front to back after using the toilet, and urinating soon after sexual intercourse. Avoiding irritating feminine products and changing birth control methods may also help.

If left untreated, a UTI can lead to more serious infections, such as a kidney infection, which can cause permanent damage to the kidneys and lead to sepsis, a life-threatening response to infection.

Yes, men can get UTIs, although they are less common than in women. Risk factors for men include an enlarged prostate, kidney stones, and urinary tract blockages.

While home remedies like drinking cranberry juice or taking probiotics may help prevent UTIs, they should not replace medical treatment. It's important to consult a healthcare provider for proper diagnosis and treatment if you suspect a UTI.

Yes, our fee above includes the examination, review of your labs and sending a prescription to the pharmacy you prefer to use, if necessary. However, the cost of the medication is not included.

The timeline for feeling better after starting treatment for a urinary tract infection can vary. For UTI, symptoms often begin to improve within a few days of starting treatment. If symptoms persist or worsen, it's important to follow up with a healthcare provider.
