UTIs: Fast Treatment Without the ER Wait
If you've ever experienced the burning, urgent discomfort of a urinary tract infection (UTI), you know how quickly you want relief. The good news?

Why UTIs Are Perfect for Urgent Care
Rapid On-Site Testing
Our state-of-the-art diagnostic systems provide urinalysis results in minutes—not days. No waiting anxiously over the weekend. You'll know during your visit.
Same-Visit Treatment
Once we confirm a UTI, we prescribe appropriate antibiotics immediately. Most patients start feeling better within 24-48 hours.
No Appointment Necessary
UTI symptoms can start suddenly and worsen quickly. Walk into Valley Urgent Care whenever you need us—open seven days a week with extended hours.
More Affordable Than the ER
Emergency room bills for uncomplicated UTIs can run into thousands of dollars. Urgent care provides the same quality treatment at a fraction of the cost.
Avoid Complications
Untreated UTIs can spread to the kidneys. Getting prompt treatment prevents the infection from worsening and reduces discomfort faster.
Who Gets UTIs?
Women are significantly more likely to get UTIs than men. Most women will experience at least one UTI in their lifetime.
Higher Risk Groups:
Sexually active women
Pregnant women
Menopausal women
People with diabetes
Catheter users
Anyone with urinary blockages
Prevention Tips for Modesto Residents
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Modesto's hot summers and dry winters can lead to dehydration, concentrating bacteria in your urinary tract.
Don't Hold It: Urinate when you feel the need.
Wipe Front to Back: Women should always wipe from front to back.
Urinate After Sex: This helps flush out bacteria.
Avoid Irritating Products: Skip harsh soaps, douches, and powders in the genital area.
Wear Breathable Underwear: Cotton underwear and loose-fitting clothes help keep the area dry.

Special Considerations for Central Valley Residents
Heat and Dehydration: Our hot summers can lead to dehydration, concentrating bacteria in the urinary tract. During summer months, increase water intake significantly.
Agricultural Workers: Those working outdoors should prioritize hydration and take regular bathroom breaks.
Hard Water: Some areas have hard water that may irritate the urinary tract. Consider filtered water if you're prone to UTIs.
