When to Visit Urgent Care for UTI Symptoms

Seek treatment at Valley Urgent Care if you experience:

  • Burning or painful sensation during urination

  • Frequent, urgent need to urinate with little output

  • Cloudy, dark, bloody, or foul-smelling urine

  • Pelvic pain or pressure (especially in women)

  • Lower back pain or discomfort

  • Low-grade fever or feeling generally unwell

  • Pain in your side or lower abdomen

When to seek emergency care: If you have high fever (over 101°F), severe back or side pain, nausea and vomiting, or confusion—especially if you're pregnant or have diabetes—go to the emergency room, as these may indicate a kidney infection.

Understanding Urinary Tract Infections

UTIs are bacterial infections that can affect any part of your urinary system, including your bladder, urethra, ureters, or kidneys. They're one of the most common infections, particularly affecting women, though men and children can develop them too.

Common causes include:

  • Bacteria entering the urinary tract

  • Inadequate fluid intake

  • Holding urine for extended periods

  • Sexual activity

  • Certain birth control methods

  • Menopause-related changes

  • Underlying health conditions affecting the urinary system

Common Questions About UTI Treatment

How quickly will I feel better after starting antibiotics?
Most patients notice improvement within 24-48 hours of starting antibiotics. However, it's crucial to complete the full course of medication even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is completely cleared.

Do I need to see a doctor for every UTI?
Yes, proper diagnosis and appropriate antibiotics are essential. While some symptoms may temporarily improve with increased hydration, untreated UTIs can spread to the kidneys and cause serious complications.

Can I prevent recurrent UTIs?
Many recurrent UTI sufferers benefit from increased water intake, urinating after sexual activity, avoiding irritating feminine products, and considering preventive measures like cranberry supplements. Dr. Samra can discuss comprehensive prevention strategies tailored to your situation.

Will I need follow-up testing?
Most simple UTIs don't require follow-up testing if symptoms resolve. However, if you have recurrent infections, persistent symptoms, or complicated medical history, follow-up may be recommended.
