About Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — kidneys, ureters, bladder, and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. UTIs are extremely common, especially among women, and can be effectively treated with antibiotics.

- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Urine that appears red, bright pink, or cola-colored (blood in urine)
- Pelvic pain in women
- Pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen
- Feeling tired or shaky
Common Causes
- Bacteria entering the urinary tract through the urethra
- Sexual activity
- Certain types of birth control (diaphragms, spermicides)
- Menopause and decreased estrogen
- Urinary tract abnormalities
- Blockages in the urinary tract (kidney stones)
- Suppressed immune system
- Catheter use

Urinary Tract Infection Treatment FAQs
Can I get UTI antibiotics online?
Yes, our licensed doctors can diagnose your UTI via video consultation and prescribe antibiotics that you can pick up at any pharmacy. Most UTIs respond well to a short course of antibiotics.
How do I know if I have a UTI?
Common UTI symptoms include a burning sensation when urinating, frequent urge to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic discomfort. Our doctors can assess your symptoms and confirm the diagnosis.
How quickly can I get UTI treatment?
