Key facts
A clean-catch, midstream urine sample keeps germs from the skin out of the test, per MedlinePlus.
If you can, give urine that has been in your bladder for 2 to 3 hours.
Drinking plenty of fluids, with water as the first choice, may help prevent bladder infections, the NIDDK says.
UTIs are among the bacterial infections antibiotics can treat, which is why a urine test comes first at Urgent Care Center of Westmont in Westmont, IL.
UTI Symptoms: Bladder vs. Kidney
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.
How We Test and Treat UTIs at Our Westmont, IL Clinic
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.
We accept most major insurance, including Blue Cross Blue Shield (PPO), BCBS Advocate Good Samaritan (HMO), Cigna, UnitedHealthcare, Medicare and CountyCare. Call (630) 324-6825 to confirm. See our cost and insurance page for all plans. Uninsured or prefer to pay directly? Our self-pay pricing is flat and upfront, with general visits from $125.

Wash your hands with soap and warm water first. Then follow the steps below, based on MedlinePlus.
If you have a vagina
Sit on the toilet with your legs apart and spread the labia with two fingers.
Use the first wipe on the inner labia, front to back, then a second wipe over the urethra.
Urinate a small amount into the toilet, then stop.
Hold the cup a few inches away and collect urine until it is about half full.
Finish urinating into the toilet.
If you have a penis
Clean the head of the penis with the wipe. If you are uncircumcised, pull back the foreskin first.
Urinate a small amount into the toilet, then stop.
Collect urine in the cup until it is about half full.
Finish urinating into the toilet.
Screw the lid on tightly without touching the inside of the cup or lid, and hand the sample to our staff.

UTIs in children and older adults

Children may not describe burning. Watch for fever, belly pain, new bedwetting or fussiness when peeing. A clean-catch sample can be hard for young kids, so our team will help. See pediatric urgent care.
Older adults may have less typical signs, such as new tiredness or a change in behavior, rather than burning. Family members should mention any sudden change. Walk in or check in online at our Westmont, IL clinic.
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.
Do I need an appointment?
No. Walk in or check in online .
What does the beginning of a UTI feel like?
Often a mild burning when you pee, needing to go more often, or pressure low in the belly. Urine may look cloudy or smell stronger. Getting tested early is easier than waiting. Read what the beginning stages of a UTI feel like.
Is it a UTI or an STD?
Both can cause burning when you pee. Discharge, sores, itching or a new partner point toward STI testing too. Your clinician can check a urine sample for infection and recommend STI tests when they make sense, privately and without judgment.
Are UTIs contagious?
No. A UTI is not passed from person to person like a cold, and you cannot catch one from a toilet seat. Sex can move bacteria toward the urethra, which is why the CDC suggests urinating after sex. Read are UTIs contagious from toilet seats?
Can I use a home UTI test strip?
Home strips can be a starting point, but they can miss some infections and cannot show which germ is involved. A clinician reads the result along with your symptoms and history, and can send a culture when needed.
