Bacteria entering any part of your urinary system (kidneys, bladder, and urethra) can cause a urinary tract infection, or UTI. Symptoms of this include frequent urination, a burning sensation while urinating, and an urge to empty the bladder even when there’s little urine to urinate. While a mild UTI can go away without medical treatment, persistent UTI symptoms can lead to complications, including recurrent infections, kidney damage, and sepsis (generalized infection and malaise).
At our urgent care clinics in Orange County, CA, we treat UTIs with prompt medical assistance and care. With our on-site lab facilities and skilled medical providers, we can deliver all aspects of care from diagnosis to treatment, saving you time and money.
Highlights of Our Urgent Care Clinics:
We will perform a urine test (urinalysis) to determine whether you have a UTI. This examines your urine for elements indicating an infection. If we detect them, we may recommend a urine culture to identify the infection-causing bacteria, while initiating treatment with antibiotics.
We have UTI treatment plans depending on the severity and frequency of your infection, bacteria found in your urine, and your overall health.
Our treatment options for different stages of UTI include:
We may prescribe:
We may recommend:
We may direct you to the ER if intravenous antibiotics are the best, safest treatment.
Recurrent UTIs may indicate underlying health conditions that may require further workup, including neurologic issues, autoimmune conditions, kidney or bladder stones, and scar tissue or anatomy changes resulting from a urinary tract surgery.
Seek more in-depth medical evaluation if you have recurrent UTIs (especially if you have had two UTIs in six months or four in twelve months).
Though common, UTIs can be painful and negatively impact your daily life. Fortunately, we can evaluate and treat UTIs quickly. If you think you are suffering from a Urinary Tract Infection, visit one of our urgent care clinics: Irvine Woodbridge Walk-In Urgent Care, Fountain Valley Urgent Care, or Costa Mesa Urgent Care in Orange County, for prompt attention.
