Anyone experiencing burning with urination, urgency, frequent trips to the bathroom, or pelvic pressure should be evaluated for a UTI.
If you’ve had three or more UTIs in the past year, you may be dealing with recurrent UTIs, which can benefit from a more individualized prevention plan.
Left untreated, a UTI can worsen and, in some cases, spread to the kidneys, so prompt diagnosis and treatment matter.
Getting the right antibiotic for the specific bacteria causing your infection helps you recover faster and reduces the chance of the infection coming back right away.
If UTIs are a recurring issue for you, we can build a longer-term plan, including preventive strategies, so you spend less time dealing with symptoms.
UTI evaluation and treatment are typically covered as a standard medical visit under most insurance plans.
We recommend confirming your office visit and prescription benefits with your insurance provider before your appointment.
Additional testing for recurrent UTIs may be billed differently depending on your coverage.
Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, commonly E. coli, entering the urinary tract. Women are more prone to UTIs due to anatomical factors.
Common symptoms include burning during urination, frequent or urgent urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain or pressure.
Most UTIs are treated with a course of antibiotics targeted to the bacteria identified in your urine test.
Seek prompt care if you develop fever, chills, back pain, or blood in your urine, as these can indicate the infection has spread to the kidneys.
If you have three or more UTIs in a year, you may benefit from a recurrent UTI management plan, which can include low-dose preventive antibiotics and lifestyle guidance.
Most insurance plans cover UTI evaluation and treatment as a standard visit. We recommend confirming your specific benefits before your appointment.
