Common Symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection
A urinary tract infection (UTI) can occur when bacteria infect part of the urinary tract. Symptoms can vary, but common symptoms may include:
- Burning or pain when urinating
- Frequent need to urinate
- Feeling an urgent need to urinate
- Passing small amounts of urine frequently
- Lower abdominal or pelvic discomfort
- Cloudy urine
- Blood in the urine
Not every urinary symptom is caused by a UTI. Other conditions can cause similar symptoms, which is why your healthcare provider will review your individual circumstances before recommending treatment.
How Online UTI Treatment Works
1. Complete Your Online Medical Evaluation
Tell us about your symptoms, when they started, your medical history, allergies, current medications, and other information your physician needs to evaluate your condition.
2. Physician Review
A licensed healthcare provider reviews your information to determine whether your symptoms are consistent with a UTI and whether telehealth treatment is appropriate.
3. Receive Your Treatment Plan
If medication is medically appropriate, your provider may prescribe an antibiotic or recommend another course of care based on your individual circumstances.
4. Pick Up Your Medication
When a prescription is issued, it may be sent to your selected pharmacy so you can obtain your medication without an unnecessary trip to a doctor’s office.
UTI Medications
Antibiotics are commonly used to treat bacterial urinary tract infections. The appropriate medication depends on factors including your symptoms, medical history, allergies, previous infections, other medications, and your healthcare provider’s clinical assessment.
Generic Bactrim
Bactrim contains sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim and is one antibiotic that may be prescribed for certain urinary tract infections when medically appropriate.
Generic Macrobid
Macrobid contains nitrofurantoin and is another antibiotic commonly used for certain uncomplicated urinary tract infections.
Your provider determines which medication, if any, is appropriate for you. Completing a medical visit does not guarantee a prescription or a specific medication.
Can I Get UTI Antibiotics Online?
Some uncomplicated urinary tract infections may be evaluated and treated through telehealth. A healthcare provider can review your symptoms and medical history online and determine whether an antibiotic is appropriate.
However, not every UTI can or should be treated online. Your provider may recommend urine testing, an in-person examination, or another level of care depending on your symptoms and medical history.
When Should I Seek In-Person Medical Care?
Some symptoms may indicate a more complicated infection or another medical condition requiring additional evaluation. Seek prompt medical attention if you experience concerning symptoms such as:
- Fever or chills
- Pain in your back, side, or flank
- Nausea or vomiting
- Severe or rapidly worsening symptoms
- Symptoms that do not improve or return after treatment
- Pregnancy with urinary symptoms
If you are experiencing severe symptoms or believe you may be having a medical emergency, seek immediate in-person medical care.
