Expert Care for Urinary Tract Infection (UTIs) in GA, NC & TN
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common reasons patients seek urgent care. While uncomfortable, UTIs are highly treatable if addressed quickly. At Erlanger Express Care in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina, our team provides fast, effective UTI treatment so you can find relief and avoid complications.
Recognizing UTI Symptoms
Typical UTI symptoms include:
- Burning while urinating
- Frequent urge to urinate, even when little comes out
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Pressure in the lower abdomen
In more severe cases, patients may develop fever, back pain, or nausea (signs that the infection may have spread to the kidneys). Because frequent urination causes may also include diabetes or other medical issues, testing is the safest way to confirm whether you’re dealing with a urinary tract infection.
How We Diagnose and Treat UTIs
When you visit Erlanger Express Care, providers run a quick urine analysis to look for bacteria or white blood cells. If confirmed, antibiotics are typically prescribed, and you’ll receive tips to relieve pain while your body heals. Some infections may require additional testing to rule out more serious conditions. With same-day testing and results in Tennessee, Georgia, and North Carolina, you’ll have answers and relief without delay.
UTI Prevention Tips
Preventing future infections is possible with a few healthy habits:
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day
- Empty your bladder after sexual activity
- Avoid harsh soaps or douches
- Choose breathable cotton underwear
- Practice consistent bathroom hygiene
Our providers may also suggest lifestyle adjustments or further testing if infections occur frequently.
