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.
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

Healthcare in Cascais: what visitors and residents should know
How local care works in Cascais and across Lisbon Region, Portugal — and where an online doctor fits alongside it.
Cascais sits within ULS de Lisboa Ocidental — the local health unit that took over the Cascais health-centre grouping in the 2024 reorganisation, alongside those of western Lisbon and Oeiras. Portugal restructured its health service on 1 January 2024: the five regional health administrations (ARS) were dissolved and replaced by 39 Unidades Locais de Saúde (ULS), each combining hospitals and health centres under one management. For non-emergency symptoms the national triage line SNS 24 (808 24 24 24) assesses you by phone and directs you to self-care, a health centre or an emergency department. EHIC and UK GHIC holders access state care on resident terms. Out of hours, pharmacies run a rota — the farmácia de serviço — posted at every closed pharmacy. Cascais has one of the highest concentrations of foreign residents in Portugal: the coastal strip out through Estoril and Quinta da Marinha has long attracted expatriate families, international-school communities and, more recently, remote workers relocating from Northern Europe and North America. That population is permanent rather than seasonal, so the dominant need is continuity of care — repeat prescriptions, ongoing-condition management, paediatric care for school-age children — rather than holiday medicine. The town is on the exposed Atlantic coast west of Lisbon, with strong surf at Guincho and consistent wind, giving it a year-round pattern of water-sport injuries, and a cooler, breezier climate than the city half an hour inland.
- Affluent international expat community
- Popular with families and relocating professionals
- High-end healthcare expectations
