Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Treatment

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common and can affect the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. 

Symptoms like painful urination, frequent urges, or lower abdominal discomfort can disrupt your daily life.

At EveryMed, our experienced GPs provide prompt, accurate UTI treatment, helping you relieve symptoms quickly, prevent complications, and reduce the risk of recurrence.

Understanding Urinary Tract Infections

UTIs occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract, often originating from the bowel. 

Women are more commonly affected due to a shorter urethra, but men and children can also develop infections.

We treat:

  • Cystitis – bladder infection
  • Urethritis – infection of the urethra
  • Kidney infections (pyelonephritis)
  • Recurrent UTIs – frequent infections

Timely treatment prevents the infection from spreading to the kidneys or bloodstream.

Common Symptoms of UTIs

Book an appointment with our bladder infection GP if you experience:

  • Painful or burning urination
  • Frequent urge to urinate, even with little urine output
  • Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
  • Blood in urine
  • Lower abdominal or pelvic pain
  • Fever or chills (may indicate kidney involvement)
  • Fatigue or malaise

Causes of Urinary Tract Infections

  • Bacterial infections, most commonly E. coli
  • Poor hygiene practices
  • Holding urine for long periods
  • Dehydration
  • Sexual activity
  • Urinary catheter use
  • Enlarged prostate (men)
  • Pregnancy
  • Structural urinary tract abnormalities

Identifying the cause is crucial for preventing recurrence.

How We Diagnose UTIs

During your consultation, our GP will:

  • Review your medical and urinary history
  • Conduct a physical examination
  • Request urine tests (urinalysis and culture)
  • Assess for kidney involvement if symptoms are severe
  • Review medications and past UTI history

Accurate diagnosis ensures effective treatment and reduces recurrence risk.

Treatment Options

Mild to Moderate UTIs

  • Oral antibiotics to clear the infection
  • Pain relief medication for burning sensation
  • Increased hydration advice
  • Cranberry or dietary support guidance (optional)

Severe or Recurrent UTIs

  • Extended or targeted antibiotic courses
  • Urine culture to identify resistant bacteria
  • Preventive strategies for recurrent infections
  • Referral to a urologist for structural or chronic issues

Self-Care and Recovery

  • Drink plenty of water to flush bacteria
  • Avoid irritants like caffeine, alcohol, and spicy foods
  • Maintain good hygiene
  • Empty bladder regularly

When to See a Doctor

Book a consultation if you experience:

  • Painful or frequent urination
  • Blood in urine
  • Fever, nausea, or back pain (may indicate kidney infection)
  • Recurring urinary infections
  • Symptoms not improving within 48 hours

Seek urgent care if:

  • Severe lower back or flank pain
  • High fever or chills
  • Confusion or dizziness (especially in older adults)
  • Vomiting or inability to keep fluids down

These may indicate a serious kidney infection requiring immediate attention.

Preventing Urinary Tract Infections

Your GP may recommend:

  • Drink plenty of fluids daily
  • Urinate after sexual activity
  • Maintain good personal hygiene
  • Avoid holding urine for long periods
  • Use unscented soaps and avoid irritants
  • Manage chronic conditions like diabetes effectively
  • Consider preventive antibiotics if recurrent

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are the common causes of stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhoea?

These symptoms can be caused by viral or bacterial infections, food poisoning, indigestion, stress, certain medications, or chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).

2. When should I see a doctor for stomach pain or diarrhoea?

Seek medical care if symptoms are severe, persistent for more than 48 hours, accompanied by high fever, blood in stool or vomit, dehydration, or severe abdominal tenderness.

3. How does EveryMed treat stomach pain, nausea, and diarrhoea?

Treatment includes rehydration, dietary guidance, medications to relieve nausea or cramps, and antibiotics if a bacterial infection is confirmed. Our doctors also help manage underlying conditions if necessary.

4. Can dehydration occur from diarrhoea?

Yes. Diarrhoea can lead to rapid fluid loss, causing dehydration. Signs include dry mouth, reduced urination, dizziness, and weakness. Prompt fluid replacement is crucial.

Some medications can help, but they may not be suitable for all causes, especially infections. Our doctors guide safe use and advise when medical treatment is necessary.

6. How can I prevent stomach infections?

Practice good hand hygiene, avoid contaminated food or water, cook food thoroughly, and avoid sharing utensils. Vaccinations and probiotics may also help prevent certain infections.

7. Is nausea always caused by digestive issues?

No. Nausea can result from infections, migraines, medications, motion sickness, pregnancy, or underlying medical conditions. A doctor can determine the cause and provide appropriate treatment.

8. Can stomach pain and diarrhoea be serious?
