Need UTI Treatment Fast? Visit Our Walk-In Clinic Near Champion Forest, TX
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are quite common, with more than half of women getting at least one in their lifetime, according to the U.S. Office on Women’s Health. Men and children can also get UTIs, though this happens less commonly. At Medella Urgent Care, we know the prevalence of UTIs doesn’t make them any more comfortable to endure. If you’re in the Champion Forest, Texas, area, and you think you might have a UTI, you can get treatment fast at our walk-in clinic only a short drive away.
We offer UTI treatment and a wide variety of other nonemergency medical services to walk-in patients during extended hours every day of the week, including Saturday and Sunday. There’s no need to make an appointment, and visiting us is much more affordable than a trip to an emergency room. We also accept many health insurance plans.
Is Medical Treatment Necessary for a UTI?
The most common type of UTI is a bladder infection. This health condition is caused when bacteria travel through the urethra (the duct that connects to the bladder and expels urine) and invade the bladder. In this case, UTI symptoms are likely to include:
- Pain or a burning sensation during urination
- Pink or bloody urine
- Pressure or cramping in the lower abdomen or groin
- Feeling an urge to urinate even when your bladder is empty
At this stage, a UTI might go away on its own. If your symptoms don’t improve within a week, you’ll want to seek medical treatment. However, because UTI symptoms can mimic signs of other health conditions, you might seek UTI treatment if you want the peace of mind that comes with a professional diagnosis. At Medella Urgent Care, we can provide same-day UTI testing, thanks to our well-equipped, in-house lab. Once we’ve confirmed that you have a UTI, we can provide an effective treatment plan that will help you recover faster than if you simply waited it out.
Another reason to seek UTI treatment as soon as you have symptoms is to prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys, which could create a much more serious health risk.
