Let’s Break Down This UTI Business

What is a UTI?

If you’re a woman, chances are you’ll have a UTI at some point—about 1 in 2 women do. But guys, you’re not off the hook either! A UTI happens when bacteria (often E.coli) sneak their way up your urinary tract, causing an infection. There are two types:

  1. Lower tract UTI – the more common one, affecting the urethra and bladder.

  2. Upper tract UTI – the more serious one, involving the kidneys.

Many people mistake UTI symptoms for something else, like a sexually transmitted infection (STI) or even pregnancy-related issues.

So, What Are the Signs of a UTI?
  • Running to the bathroom every five minutes.

  • Feeling like you have to go NOW.

  • That burning, painful feeling when you pee.

Cloudy, or stinky urine.
If you’re noticing fever, back pain, or blood in your pee, it might be a sign of something more serious. If a common UTI is left untreated, bacteria can move to the kidney and cause more severe infections.

Treating UTIs: 

Most UTIs can be treated with a short course of antibiotics, which you can easily get from our doctors online. If you’ve had a UTI before or if it’s a more complicated case, we may recommend a urine sample to check for more serious infections. If you’re still feeling off after treatment, it’s time to check in with a doctor again!

FAQs You may have Been Wondering About:

Can I have sex with a UTI?
Not the best idea. It can make your symptoms worse and might prolong your infection. Plus, while UTIs aren’t STIs, you can still pass bacteria to your partner. It’s best to finish your antibiotics before getting back to business.

How long does a UTI last?
With antibiotics, you should feel better in 3 to 7 days. Some UTIs might go away on their own, but leaving them untreated could lead to complications. So, don’t wait—talk to a doctor if you need relief.

How do I prevent a UTI?

  • Drink plenty of water.

  • Pee right after sex.

  • Take showers, not baths.

  • Wipe front to back, always!

  • Use water to clean your private parts.

Yeast Infection vs. UTI: What’s the Difference?

A yeast infection is caused by an overgrowth of fungus and leads to itching and burning, especially around the vagina. On the other hand, a UTI is bacterial and brings that constant need to pee, along with burning and foul-smelling urine. If you’re unsure, our doctors can help with both!

And What About Men?

It’s an equal opportunity malady  - Men too can get UTIs too, even though it’s less common. Their longer urethras make it harder for bacteria to travel, but diabetes, kidney stones, or an enlarged prostate can increase the chances. If you’re a guy experiencing UTI symptoms, don’t wait—get checked out!
