Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections seen in primary care, affecting millions of Americans each year — particularly women. At Blue Water Primary Care, we offer prompt, same-day evaluation and treatment for UTIs so you can get relief quickly and avoid complications.
A UTI occurs when bacteria enter the urethra and multiply in the urinary tract, causing symptoms such as a burning sensation during urination, frequent or urgent need to urinate, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, pelvic discomfort, and in more advanced cases, fever, chills, or back pain — which may indicate the infection has reached the kidneys (pyelonephritis).
Our providers will evaluate your symptoms, perform a urinalysis, and in some cases order a urine culture to identify the specific bacteria causing your infection and ensure the most effective antibiotic is prescribed. We take care to avoid unnecessary antibiotic use while ensuring every patient receives the treatment they need as quickly as possible.
Recurrent UTIs require a more thorough investigation to identify and address underlying contributing factors, and our team is experienced in managing patients who experience frequent infections. If you are experiencing symptoms of a UTI, please call our office or walk in — we will get you seen promptly. Most insurance plans cover UTI evaluation and treatment.
