Urgent care

Urinary tract infection (UTI) care

A urinary tract infection, or UTI, happens when bacteria grow in the bladder or the tubes that carry urine. A provider asks about your symptoms and tests a urine sample. Bacterial infections are treated with antibiotics.

Common signs of a UTI

Burning or pain when you urinate
Needing to urinate often or urgently
Passing only small amounts each time
Cloudy, strong-smelling or bloody urine
Pressure or pain low in the belly

UTI symptoms with fever, chills, pain in your back or side, or vomiting can mean a kidney infection. Go to the emergency room. If you feel confused or faint, call 911.

Common questions

Do I need an appointment for a UTI?

No. Walk in any day between 9 AM and 6 PM.

Can a UTI go away without treatment?

Some mild ones do, but an untreated infection can spread to the kidneys. It is safer to be checked.

What if I am pregnant?

Tell the provider. UTIs in pregnancy need prompt treatment, and some medicines are safer than others.

Can men get a UTI?

Yes, although it is less common. Men with urinary symptoms should be examined to find the cause.

Can you see my child for a possible UTI?

For babies and young children, please call first at (708) 529-7109.
