UTI Testing In Westmont, IL

The CDC separates bladder and kidney infection symptoms:

Bladder infection

• Pain or burning when you urinate
• Urinating often, or a strong urge to go
• Cloudy or bad-smelling urine, or pressure in the lower belly

Kidney infection

• Fever and chills
• Pain in the lower back or side
• Nausea or vomiting

Kidney infections are more serious and need prompt care.

Your clinician asks about symptoms and your health history, and may do a short exam. You give a urine sample for an on-site urine test (urinalysis). MedlinePlus explains that a urine culture can confirm which germ is causing the infection, which is helpful for repeat or complicated infections. When needed, we send a culture through our lab testing service.

If you have a UTI, your clinician explains your treatment plan and what to watch for. Finish the full plan even if you feel better. We also share prevention tips from the CDC, such as drinking enough water, urinating after sex and choosing showers over baths.

Go to the nearest emergency room or call 911 for:

• High fever with shaking chills, severe back or side pain, or vomiting that will not stop
• Confusion, fainting or feeling very ill
• Being unable to urinate at all
• Any fever of 100.4°F or higher in a baby younger than 3 months

• STD testing
• Chlamydia testing
• Gonorrhea testing
• Diabetes testing

Who gets UTIs?

Anyone can. The CDC notes they are more common in women. Pregnancy, older age, recent sexual activity and past UTIs also raise risk.

Can men and children get UTIs?

Yes. UTIs in men and children should always be checked by a clinician.

Will a UTI go away on its own?

Do not wait it out. An untreated bladder infection can spread to the kidneys. Get tested if you have symptoms.
