Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to receive this treatment?
This visit may be right for you if:
• You were assigned a female sex at birth.
• Your current symptoms have not been treated with an antibiotic previously.
• In the previous 12 months, you had no more than three UTIs.
• You are not pregnant.
Which antibiotics for UTIs are available through Optum Clinic?
In the event that your symptoms point to an acute simple cystitis, commonly known as an uncomplicated UTI, your doctor may recommend a short-term oral antibiotic. However, your doctor will want to know if you have taken antibiotics recently for the same symptoms before writing a prescription. When a therapy is overprescribed and the patient doesn't respond as well to it, the germs may get resistant to the medication. If you began taking antibiotics more than three days ago and your UTI symptoms are still present, you should schedule an in-person examination with a reliable healthcare professional, such as a primary care physician (PCP).
Why do women get UTIs?
Generally speaking, because the urethra is so close to the anus, "bad" germs like E. coli find it easier to access female anatomy. You can take the following actions to reduce your chance of contracting another UTI:
• Before and after sexual activity, urinate
• When you exit the restroom, wipe yourself from front to back.
• Drink plenty of water.
• When you need to urinate, don't "hold it" for too long.
Additionally, studies have demonstrated the inherent advantages of cranberries in preventing E. Coli from adhering to the urinary system.
Can guys use Optum Clinic to get treated for UTIs?
Not right now. Male anatomy bacterial infections are typically more complicated. You should schedule an in-person evaluation with a primary care physician (PCP) or other trusted healthcare professional if you were given a male sex at birth and you are experiencing signs of a urinary tract infection (UTI), such as painful urination or blood in your urine.
