UTI Treatment Questions and Answers

AFC Parsippany is proud to offer exceptional UTI treatment and to address any questions you may have about urinary tract infections. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a common and often frustrating condition. Although there are several preventive measures to avoid UTIs, they are sometimes insufficient. At AFC Parsippany, our medical professionals are ready to treat your UTI symptoms and provide guidance on how to prevent future infections.

What is a UTI?

A urinary tract infection is an infection that affects the urinary system, which includes the bladder, kidneys, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are classified into three types based on the location of the infection:

  • Bladder (cystitis):
    • Blood in urine
    • Lower abdominal discomfort
    • Frequent and painful urination
    • Pelvic pressure
  • Kidneys (acute pyelonephritis):
    • Chills and shaking
    • High fever
    • Nausea and vomiting
    • Pain in the upper back and side (flank)
  • Urethra (urethritis):
    • Burning sensation during urination
    • Discharge

Most UTIs are caused by bacterial infections, though certain fungi and, more rarely, viruses can also be responsible.

How can I contract a UTI?

UTIs are fairly common and can result from various factors such as sexual activity, poor hygiene practices, diaphragm use, dehydration, or holding in urine for extended periods. Women are more susceptible to UTIs due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to reach the bladder more quickly.

Where can I go to get treated for a UTI?

UTI treatment is available at primary care clinics, emergency rooms, urgent care clinics, and walk-in clinics. If you are in or near Parsippany, NJ, and cannot see your primary care physician promptly, we invite you to visit AFC Parsippany for walk-in UTI treatment. Our clinic is located at 1160 US Highway 46, Parsippany, NJ. We are open Monday to Friday from 8AM to 8PM, and on weekends from 8AM to 5PM.

Should I go to urgent care for a UTI?

While several medical facilities provide UTI treatment, urgent care clinics offer significant advantages such as same-day medical attention and cost-effective services. Urgent care clinics accept walk-in patients and generally have shorter wait times than emergency rooms, making them a convenient and efficient choice for UTI treatment. Additionally, since urgent care clinics do not handle life-threatening emergencies, they can see most patients promptly based on arrival time.

Visit AFC Parsippany for fast and reliable UTI treatment. Our medical team is here to provide the care you need and to answer any questions about urinary tract infections. For more information, please call us at (973) 313-8484 or walk in today!
