What is a UTI, and what causes it?
A UTI, or urinary tract infection, is an infection that can occur anywhere along the urinary tract, including the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. It’s usually caused by bacteria that enter the urinary system. Symptoms can include a frequent need to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, or cloudy urine. At First Medical Associates, our primary care doctors are here to help you understand and manage UTIs effectively.
How can I tell if I have a UTI?
Common symptoms of a UTI include:
- A strong, persistent urge to urinate
- Pain or burning sensation during urination
- Cloudy or dark urine
- Lower abdominal pain or discomfort
If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, don’t hesitate to reach out to us at First Medical Associates. We’re here to help you determine if a UTI is the cause and provide the appropriate care.
How is a UTI diagnosed?
To diagnose a UTI, your primary care doctor at First Medical Associates will typically start with a review of your symptoms and medical history. They may then request a urine sample to test for bacteria, white blood cells, or other signs of infection. This helps us confirm the diagnosis and choose the right treatment for you.
