Infection

    Urinary tract infection (UTI).

    UTIs are usually caused by bacteria (most often E. coli) entering the urinary tract. They're more common in women. Prompt treatment prevents progression to a kidney infection.

    Quick answer

    A UTI causes burning with urination, frequency, and lower belly pain. We test your urine on-site and prescribe antibiotics the same visit — most patients feel better in 24–48 hours.
