About uti treatment
A GP appointment in Loughton covers your symptoms and medical history, by video or in clinic, leading to a clear diagnosis. Worth seeing a GP sooner if symptoms last more than two days, you have pain in your lower back or side, a fever above 38°C, blood in your urine, or more than two UTIs a year. If antibiotics are indicated, treatment is agreed with you that day. See our national page at /conditions/uti/ for more.
About UTIs
A bacterial infection of the bladder, urethra or, less commonly, the kidneys is known as a UTI. Symptoms usually include a burning feeling when urinating, more frequent or urgent trips to the toilet, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and lower abdominal discomfort. Most bladder infections are simple to treat, but kidney infections need more urgent care.
