Symptoms of a Urinary Tract Infection

Common Causes of a Urinary Tract Infection

The most common cause of a urinary tract infection is when bacteria enters the urinary tract through the urethra and spreads toward the bladder.

Treatment for a Urinary Tract Infection

Our providers usually treat urinary tract infections with antibiotics, though more substantial treatment may be needed if the infection has spread to other areas of the urinary system. Call the office to schedule an appointment if you have UTI symptoms and think you need antibiotics.
