In-Depth
What You Need to Know
Urinary tract infections are among the most common conditions seen at urgent care clinics, particularly in women. Diagnosis involves collecting a urine sample for a rapid dipstick test and, in some cases, sending it for a culture to identify the specific bacteria involved. Uncomplicated UTIs are typically treated with a short course of antibiotics such as nitrofurantoin or trimethoprim-sulfamethoxazole. Providers also recommend increased fluid intake and may prescribe a urinary analgesic for pain relief. Patients with recurrent UTIs, symptoms of a kidney infection (such as flank pain and high fever), or complicated cases may be referred to their primary care physician or a urologist for further evaluation.
