Expert Care and Treatment from the Comfort of Home

What Is a UTI?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a common bacterial infection affecting the kidneys, ureters, bladder, or urethra. While UTIs are more frequent in women, they can affect anyone. Teldoc’s telehealth service makes it easy to get prompt diagnosis and treatment without leaving home.

Recognising UTI Symptoms

UTIs can cause discomfort and may require medical attention. Common symptoms include:

  • Pain or burning sensation during urination
  • Frequent need to urinate
  • Urgent need to urinate
  • Blood in the urine
  • Pelvic pain or discomfort
  • Fever or chills
  • Confusion, especially in older adults

If you’re experiencing any of these symptoms, our doctors are here to help with fast, expert care.

Effective UTI Treatment

UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics tailored to your specific condition. During a secure telehealth consultation, our licensed doctors will:

  • Assess your symptoms thoroughly
  • Prescribe the most appropriate antibiotic, if needed
  • Recommend over-the-counter pain relievers to ease discomfort, if necessary

Prescriptions are sent directly to you or your preferred pharmacy for quick pickup or delivery.

Tips to Prevent UTIs

Reduce your risk of future UTIs with these simple steps:

  • Stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water
  • Wipe from front to back after using the bathroom
  • Empty your bladder fully when urinating
  • Avoid irritants like harsh soaps or douches
  • Urinate after sexual activity to flush out bacteria

Our doctors can provide personalised advice to help you stay UTI-free.

    Please note: The suitability of online treatment depends on your symptoms, and the doctor will determine the best approach.

  4. Can all UTIs be treated online?

    Not all UTIs are suitable for online treatment. Severe or complicated UTIs (e.g., kidney infections or recurrent infections) may require in-person evaluation, physical exams, or additional testing. If online treatment isn’t appropriate, our doctors will advise you to see a GP or seek hospital care.

  5. Can I request a specific antibiotic for my UTI?

    You can discuss your preferences during the consultation, but our doctors will prescribe antibiotics based on your symptoms, medical history, and Australian guidelines for antibiotic resistance. All prescriptions require a clinical assessment.

  6. What if my UTI doesn’t require antibiotics?

    If antibiotics aren’t necessary, our doctors may recommend over-the-counter pain relievers, increased hydration, or other strategies to manage symptoms. They may also suggest further tests or a specialist referral if needed.

  7. Where can I get my UTI prescription filled?

    Your e-prescription will be sent electronically to you or your preferred pharmacy anywhere in Australia, making it easy to access your medication.

  8. How long is an online UTI prescription valid for?

  9. What if I need a repeat prescription for my UTI?

    Repeat prescriptions for UTIs are generally not issued without a further consultation, as recurrent symptoms may indicate a need for reassessment. Book another appointment with a Teldoc doctor to ensure appropriate treatment.

  10. Are online UTI consultations bulk billed?

    Teldoc Australia offers bulk billing for eligible patients (e.g., Homeless with valid concession cards), otherwise private fees apply. Please visit our pricing page at Teldoc Australia for the latest information on consultation fees ($49 weekdays / $69 weekends) and bulk-billing eligibility.

  11. What if I have a question after my consultation?

  14. Do I need a referral to see a specialist for my UTI?
