Urinary Tract Infections (UTI)

Call/Text: 646-306-0419

Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is an extremely common condition many people experience periodically due to bacteria entering the urinary tract. Although possible for male patients, it is far more common among the female population to get a UTI due to anatomical differences. Types of UTI include bladder infection (cystitis), urethra infection (urethritis), and kidney infection (pyelonephritis). Depending on the severity of the infection and which part of the urinary tract that has been infected, your treatment may differ. In any case, you should never ignore the signs of a UTI and assume it will go away on its own or just by using holistic remedies. In some cases, an untreated acute UTI can lead to sepsis or long term organ damages such as kidney damage.

  • Burning sensation when passing urine

  • Persistent urge to urinate

  • Cloudy, bloody, and/or odorous urine

Chronic UTI’s are cumbersome enough, therefore Studio Med doctors want to make this as easy for you as possible while still prioritizing your health and safety first.

Urgent Care Visits

This is recommended for all male patients, geriatric patients, and patients who rarely contract a UTI. A physical exam by our doctor can help make sure that there are no hidden infections or health risks elsewhere which can cause similar symptoms such as abdominal discomfort, nausea, fever, lower back pain, and more. If you have left your UTI untreated for a while, a house call is also helpful for our physician to rule out the need for IV antibiotics or a hospital visit.
