Overview

If UTIs keep coming back, treating each one individually only goes so far. A primary care provider can look at the pattern and help build a prevention plan, not just react to the next infection.

How ongoing primary care can help

Your provider will review how often infections occur and any contributing factors to discuss prevention strategies, which may include lifestyle changes, low-dose preventive antibiotics, post-menopausal hormone therapy or referral to a specialist.

When to seek emergency careFever, chills, and back or side pain along with UTI symptoms can indicate a kidney infection and need prompt in-person care.

Frequently asked questions

Can recurrent uti prevention really be managed over telehealth?
In many cases, yes. A primary care provider can evaluate your symptoms and history over video, review any recent labs, and help adjust your treatment plan when appropriate. For some chronic conditions, especially if they are uncontrolled, our providers may need to collect/complete vital signs, physical exams, lab tests, or imaging which requires an in person visit. Our providers will help you take the next step.
Do I need to keep seeing the same provider?
Continuity helps, as seeing the same provider over time means they already know your history and current plan, which usually means faster, more informed visits.
What if I need to be seen in person?
If your provider determines your condition needs an in-person exam, testing, or treatment they can't provide virtually, they'll let you know and help direct you to the right next step.
