What is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that can occur in any part of the urinary system, which includes the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, but they can also be caused by viruses or fungi. UTIs are more common in women than in men.
The most common type of UTI is a lower urinary tract infection, which typically affects the bladder and urethra. If the infection progresses to the kidneys, it is referred to as an upper urinary tract infection and can be more severe.
Who Is This Treatment Right For?
Our telehealth service for urinary tract infection (UTI) treatment is designed for individuals seeking a convenient and efficient way to address the discomfort and urgency associated with UTIs. This service is suitable for those who have previously experienced UTI symptoms and are looking for prescription medication without the need for an in-person doctor visit.
What is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection is an infection that can occur in any part of the urinary system, including the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, and they are more common in women. Symptoms can range from mild to severe and may include a frequent urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and pelvic pain.
Common Symptoms of a UTI:
Frequent urination
Burning sensation during urination
Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
Pelvic pain or discomfort
Urgency to urinate
Common Prescription Medications & Their Side Effects:
Our telehealth service may prescribe antibiotics such as:
Ciprofloxacin
Cephalexin
Trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole
It's crucial to complete the full course of antibiotics even if symptoms improve early. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, or allergic reactions. Always inform your healthcare provider of any existing medical conditions or medications to avoid potential interactions.
Over-the-Counter (OTC) Medications:
For symptom relief while waiting for prescription medication, over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen can help alleviate discomfort. However, these do not treat the underlying infection and should be used in conjunction with prescribed antibiotics.
Prevention & Lifestyle Tips:
Taking steps to prevent UTIs is essential. Consider the following tips:
Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water to flush bacteria out of your urinary system.
Wipe Properly: Always wipe from front to back after using the toilet to prevent the spread of bacteria.
Urinate After Sex: Empty your bladder after sexual activity to flush out any bacteria.
Cotton Underwear: Wear breathable cotton underwear to help keep the genital area dry.
