Find UTI Treatment at Our Urgent Care Clinic
Are you experiencing discomfort when trying to relieve yourself and concerned about a urinary tract infection? If you’ve ever had a UTI before, you’re likely familiar with the unpleasant burning sensation that comes with it. Find relief at Healthline Medical Group, an urgent care clinic in Van Nuys, California, that offers UTI treatment.
What Causes UTI?
Urinary tract infection occurs when bacteria from the skin or rectum enter the urethra and upsets the natural flora of the urinary tract. Though the urinary tract is usually effective at preventing microorganisms from entering the system, it is not foolproof. This is especially true for women, whose shorter urethra makes them more susceptible to UTI. Risk factors include a previous urinary tract infection, sexual activity, pregnancy, changes in the vaginal flora, and poor hygiene.
Urinary Tract Infection Treatment
If your symptoms include frequent urination, pain while urinating, or discolored urine, visit Healthline Medical Group for urinary tract infection treatment. Most UTIs are bladder infections (cystitis) and can be treated with antibiotics. However, kidney infections (pyelonephritis), though less common, are a more serious type of UTI that needs to be treated as soon as possible. During your visit, we’ll give you a UTI test and recommend the best treatment plan based on the results.
