UTI Symptoms Treated at AFC Locations in Alaska

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) occur when bacteria enters the urinary tract and causes a common bacterial infection. They are very common and can affect people of all ages. While the symptoms of UTIs can vary, the chief indication of infection is abnormal urination. The severity of your individual infection can depend on your overall health, medical history, and underlying conditions. If you experience any of the symptoms listed below, it’s important to seek medical attention. At American Family Care locations in Alaska, a provider can diagnose the infection and provide effective treatment.

Common symptoms of UTIs we treat include:

• A strong, persistent urge to urinate
• A burning sensation when urinating
• Passing frequent & small amounts of urine
• Cloudy / strong-smelling urine
• Pain or pressure in the pelvis
• Fatigue

UTI Diagnosis & Treatment Options

When you visit AFC locations in Alaska with a suspected urinary tract infection, your visit will typically begin with a discussion of your symptoms and medical history. Your provider will generally perform a physical examination to look for signs of infection. If additional testing is required, a sample of urine may be collected. American Family Care locations in Alaska are equipped with on-site labs that allow for a quick, easy, and accurate diagnosis. In most cases, your results will be confidentially delivered to you within the timeframe of your appointment! Once diagnosed, our team can help you plan the proper treatment plan to alleviate symptoms.

There are treatment options available at the clinic for UTIs. Urinary tract infections are usually treated with a two part plan: antibiotics and supportive care. We can prescribe antibiotics to effectively clear the infection. Additionally, we may make further recommendations for care to relieve any pain or discomfort at home. This can include OTC pain relievers, hydration, rest, and loose-fitting clothing.
