Burning when you pee: a UTI or an STI?
Many people come in thinking they have a bladder infection, and sometimes they do. But the CDC notes that chlamydia can cause a burning feeling when urinating, and that gonorrhea symptoms in women are often mild and easy to mistake for a bladder or vaginal infection. In men, burning and discharge from the penis are common signs of gonorrhea.
Because the symptoms overlap, your clinician may check a urine sample for a urinary infection and also test for chlamydia and gonorrhea, especially if you have a new partner. Read more about burning when you pee and our UTI testing. MedlinePlus lists other possible STI signs:
Unusual discharge from the vagina or penis
Sores or warts in the genital area or mouth
Genital itching or redness
Belly pain or fever
From the front desk to your results

Urgent Care Center of Westmont, also known as Immediate Care Center of Westmont, has a team led by board-certified physicians. A testing visit usually goes like this:
Tell the front desk you would like testing. No further explanation is needed at the counter.
In a private exam room, a clinician asks about symptoms, partners, the kinds of sex you have had and when your last possible exposure was.
Samples are collected right there at the clinic: urine, blood, or a swab of the genitals, throat or rectum, depending on the tests.
When results are ready, a clinician goes over them with you and explains what comes next.
There are no take-home or self-swab kits. Every sample is collected on site during your visit, and our team asks every question without judgment.

DuPage County resources and what comes after testing
Read moreClose
Downers Grove, IL is in DuPage County. The DuPage County Health Department runs a confidential STD clinic at its Wheaton office for people 12 and older, with testing for chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis and HIV. Our clinics add a walk-in option on Saturdays and Sundays.
If a test is positive, your clinician explains the result and recommends treatment, which may include prescription medicine when appropriate. The CDC advises that partners be treated at the same time, and it suggests retesting about three months after treatment for chlamydia or gonorrhea, because repeat infections are common.
Is there STD testing close to downtown Downers Grove, IL?
Our closest clinic is Urgent Care Center of Westmont at 29 N Cass Ave in Westmont, IL, about 1.8 miles east of central Downers Grove in a straight line. From the Main Street Metra station, you can ride the BNSF Line east to Westmont, IL and walk from there.
Can a urine test check for both a UTI and an STD?
A urine sample can be used to look for a urinary infection and, with separate lab tests, for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Other infections, such as HIV and syphilis, need a blood test. Your clinician decides which tests fit your symptoms and history.
Is there anything I should do before an STD test?
If you may give a urine sample, it helps not to pee right before your visit. Bring a list of your medicines, including any recent antibiotics, and think about when your last possible exposure was, since timing affects which tests make sense.
Which clinic should I pick from Downers Grove, IL?
Driving east on Ogden Avenue, the Jewel-Osco clinic at 4 E Ogden Ave comes first. From 55th Street, turn north on Cass Avenue for the main clinic. Both collect STD test samples. If you want to book online, choose the main clinic at 29 N Cass Ave.
Do I need symptoms to get tested?
No. The CDC says STIs often have no symptoms, which is why regular testing is recommended for many people. If you do have symptoms, mention them so your clinician can examine the area and choose the right tests.
