Fast UTI Relief with Teldoc

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.

UTI's Frequently Asked Questions

1What are the common symptoms of a UTI?
Common UTI symptoms include a burning sensation when urinating, frequent urination, a persistent urge to urinate even with an empty bladder, cloudy or bloody urine, and pelvic pain.
2How is a UTI diagnosed through telehealth?
During a telehealth consultation, a healthcare provider will ask you detailed questions about your symptoms and medical history. This information, combined with your description of symptoms, is usually sufficient for diagnosis. In some cases, you may be asked to provide a urine sample for testing at a local lab.
3Can I have a UTI without any symptoms?
Yes, it's possible to have a UTI without experiencing noticeable symptoms. This is more common in older adults. This is called asymptomatic bacteriuria.
4Are UTIs contagious?
UTIs are not contagious in the traditional sense, like a cold or flu. They are typically caused by bacteria entering the urinary tract. However, sexual activity can increase the risk of UTIs.
5What causes UTIs?
Most UTIs are caused by bacteria, most commonly E. coli, entering the urinary tract through the urethra.
6Who is at higher risk for UTIs?
Women are more susceptible to UTIs due to their shorter urethra. Other risk factors include: sexual activity, certain types of birth control (diaphragms, spermicides), menopause, urinary tract abnormalities, blockages in the urinary tract (kidney stones), and a weakened immune system.
7Can dehydration cause UTIs?
While dehydration doesn't directly cause a UTI, not drinking enough fluids can concentrate urine, making it easier for bacteria to multiply if they are present. Staying hydrated is important for urinary tract health.
8How are UTIs treated?
UTIs are typically treated with antibiotics prescribed by a healthcare provider. The type and duration of antibiotics will depend on the specific bacteria causing the infection.
9How quickly will I feel better after starting antibiotics?
Most people start to feel relief from their symptoms within a day or two of starting antibiotics. It's crucial to complete the entire course of antibiotics prescribed, even if you feel better, to ensure the infection is completely cleared.
10What can I do to prevent UTIs?
Several steps can help prevent UTIs, including: drinking plenty of water, urinating after sexual activity, wiping front to back, avoiding irritating feminine products, and considering cranberry products (though evidence of their effectiveness is mixed).
11Can I treat a UTI at home without antibiotics?
No, UTIs require antibiotic treatment prescribed by a healthcare provider. While some home remedies may provide temporary relief from symptoms, they will not cure the infection. Delaying proper treatment can lead to more serious complications.
12What happens if a UTI is left untreated?
Untreated UTIs can lead to more serious kidney infections (pyelonephritis), which can cause permanent kidney damage.
