Urinary tract infection

Burning sensation? Time to check.


A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common condition where bacteria infect parts of the urinary system, including the bladder, kidneys, urethra, or ureters. Symptoms often include a strong, persistent urge to urinate, a burning sensation when urinating, passing frequent, small amounts of urine, and cloudy or strong-smelling urine. If left untreated, UTIs can lead to more serious complications. Effective treatment typically involves antibiotics to clear the infection. 


Mahalo provides an easy and private way to consult with healthcare providers about UTIs. Through virtual consultations, you can discuss your symptoms, possibly receive a diagnosis, and get a prescription for antibiotics if necessary. This service allows for prompt treatment, helping to alleviate symptoms and prevent further complications, all from the comfort and privacy of your home.

Precautions


  • Drink plenty of water to help flush out bacteria from your urinary tract.
  • Take over-the-counter pain relievers such as ibuprofen or acetaminophen to alleviate discomfort and reduce fever.
  • Consider drinking unsweetened cranberry juice or taking cranberry supplements, as some studies suggest they may help prevent UTIs by preventing bacteria from sticking to the urinary tract walls.
 

Common Medications


  • Antibiotics such as Trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole (Bactrim, Septra), Nitrofurantoin (Macrodantin, Macrobid), or Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
  • Phenazopyridine (Pyridium) for bladder pain
