Common Signs of UTIs

UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract, most often affecting the bladder. They can impact anyone, but are especially common in women due to anatomical factors.

✔ Bacterial Infections – Most UTIs are caused by E. coli bacteria from the digestive tract

✔ Poor hygiene or wiping technique – Wiping from back to front can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract.

✔ Sexual activity – Especially if followed by delayed urination

✔ Urinary retention or incomplete bladder emptying – Not fully emptying the bladder can allow bacteria to grow.

✔ Hormonal change – Such as during pregnancy or menopause

✔ Use of catheters or certain medications – Devices or drugs that affect urine flow may raise the likelihood of infection.

Identifying the specific cause of your UTI allows us to tailor your treatment and reduce the chances of it returning.

Our Diagnostic Approach

How We Evaluate UTI Symptoms

During your visit, our providers will ask about your symptoms, medical history, and any past UTIs. We typically perform a urine sample test to confirm the diagnosis and identify the type of bacteria causing the infection.

If needed, we may also check for signs of more serious conditions, like kidney infections or urinary obstruction.

Based on the results, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan, usually including antibiotics, hydration guidance, and preventive tips to reduce the chance of future infections.
