According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, urinary tract infections are the second most common infection type, accounting for over eight million doctor’s office visits worldwide per year. While mild UTIs can be taken care of at home in some cases, most healthcare providers recommend making an appointment as soon as you notice UTI symptoms. Your doctor can prescribe antibiotics to fight off the infection and prevent the development of further complications. Other helpful home care tips for fighting off a UTI include drinking lots of water, avoiding caffeine and alcohol, urinating frequently, and using a heating pad or over-the-counter pain medication like Advil or Tylenol to manage pain symptoms. Symptoms of UTI include the following:
• Frequent and intense urge to urinate
• Pain, discomfort, or burning sensation while urinating
• Cloudy or bright red urine
• Urine that exhibits a strong smell
• Pelvic pain
If you experience any of the above symptoms, we recommend that you come to see one of our physicians at Clio Urgent Care at your earliest convenience!
While your primary care physician is the ideal person to go to for UTI treatment, sometimes it is not prudent to wait for their next available appointment. In such cases, it may seem like the natural choice would be the emergency room. However, you are more than likely to endure long wait times and expensive hospital fees by visiting the emergency room for a UTI. Thus, an urgent care facility that specializes in treatment for UTIs would be the next best choice. We welcome you to come to Clio Urgent Care if you require urgent UTI treatment! Furthermore, if you lack a primary care physician, one of our physicians would be happy to take you on as a client.
If you require antibiotics to treat your urinary tract infection, you do need to make an appointment to see a doctor.
