UTIs (Urinary Tract Infections)

Common Symptoms We Treat:

Symptoms of Urinary Tract Infections can include:

• Pain or burning while urinating
• Frequent urination
• Feeling like you can not completely empty your bladder or feeling the need to urinate despite having an empty bladder
• Pink, red, or brown urine (blood in the urine)
• Pressure or cramping in the groin or lower abdomen

How the UTI Appointment Can Help

• A Conversation without Judgement: Your Tia provider will review your symptoms, any past UTIs, your sexual history and birth control, and your medications to identify possible causes or triggers.
• A Quick Urine Test: A urinalysis checks for signs of infection, and a urine culture, when needed, identifies the bacteria so your provider can choose the antibiotic most likely to work.
• Testing When Needed: Because yeast infections, BV, and STIs can feel like a UTI, your provider may recommend vaginal cultures or STI testing. For recurrent or complicated UTIs, blood work or imaging such as an ultrasound may be recommended.
• Personalized UTI Treatment: Depending on the cause, your Care Plan may include antibiotics, medication to ease burning and urgency, and for recurring UTIs, prevention strategies such as prescription vaginal estrogen, preventive antibiotics, changes to birth control, or a referral to a urology specialist.
