Step 1: Symptom History
Your provider reviews your symptoms, when they started, your medical history and whether you have had UTIs before.
Step 2: Urine Test
We test a urine sample to look for signs of infection and help determine whether a UTI may be causing your symptoms.
Step 3: Antibiotics and Symptom Relief
If a bacterial UTI is diagnosed or strongly suspected, your provider may prescribe antibiotics and recommend appropriate measures to help relieve discomfort.
Step 4: Culture for Repeat Infections
If infections keep returning or the initial treatment may not be working, a urine culture can help identify the bacteria and guide treatment. Your provider may recommend specialist follow-up when needed.
