Urinary tract infections are one of the most common bacterial infections, affecting millions of people each year—especially women. UTIs can be painful and disruptive, but with prompt treatment, most infections clear up quickly. At UrgentDoc, our English-speaking doctors can diagnose your UTI and prescribe appropriate antibiotics through a convenient, private online consultation.
What is a Urinary Tract Infection?
A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urinary system and multiply, causing infection. The urinary tract includes the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most UTIs affect the lower urinary tract—the bladder (cystitis) and urethra (urethritis). While uncomfortable, these infections are usually easy to treat with antibiotics when caught early.
Common UTI Symptoms
Our doctors can help if you're experiencing any of these symptoms:
- Burning sensation – pain or burning during urination
- Frequent urination – feeling the need to urinate more often than usual
- Urgency – strong, sudden urges to urinate, often with little urine passed
- Cloudy or discolored urine – urine that appears cloudy, dark, or has an unusual odor
- Blood in urine – pink, red, or cola-colored urine (hematuria)
- Pelvic discomfort – pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen or pelvic area

Treatment Options
UTI treatment typically involves antibiotics to kill the bacteria causing the infection. Our doctors may prescribe:
- Short-course antibiotics (3-7 days depending on severity)
- Common UTI antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin, fosfomycin, or trimethoprim
- Pain relief medications for discomfort
- Urinary analgesics to reduce burning sensations
- Advice on hydration and home care
- Follow-up recommendations if symptoms persist
UTI Prevention Tips
While not all UTIs can be prevented, these habits can help reduce your risk:
- Stay well hydrated—drink plenty of water throughout the day
- Urinate frequently and don't hold it for extended periods
- Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom
- Urinate soon after sexual activity
- Avoid potentially irritating feminine products
- Consider cranberry supplements (evidence is mixed but may help some people)
When to Seek Immediate Care
Seek emergency care if you experience:
- High fever (above 38.5°C / 101°F) with UTI symptoms
- Severe back pain or flank pain (could indicate kidney infection)
- Nausea and vomiting along with urinary symptoms
- Shaking, chills, or feeling extremely unwell
- Blood clots in urine or heavy bleeding
- Symptoms that worsen despite antibiotic treatment
These symptoms may indicate a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) which requires urgent medical attention.
