Urinary Tract Infection in Women
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are bacterial infections that commonly affect the urinary system, particularly prevalent in women due to their anatomy. Symptoms include a burning sensation during urination, frequent urge to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort, and possibly blood in the urine. Prompt treatment is essential to alleviate symptoms and prevent complications.
Our knowledgeable pharmacists provide expert guidance and support for women experiencing UTI symptoms. We offer rapid tests and can assist with initiating antibiotic therapy under specific conditions, ensuring you receive timely relief and effective management of your UTI.
To help prevent UTIs, remember to:
- Stay well-hydrated
- Avoid holding urine for prolonged periods
- Urinate after each sexual intercourse
- Avoid wearing tight-fitting clothes that trap moisture
- Practice proper hygiene (wipe from front to back)
- Avoid vaginal douching
- Change tampons or external pads regularly during menstruation
- Maintain regular bowel movements through a balanced diet (include vegetables, fruits, and fiber) and physical activity
Please note, while our consultation offers initial guidance and support, it does not substitute comprehensive care and treatment planning by your doctor. We encourage you to consult a doctor for personalized assessment and ongoing management of your UTI. Additionally, this service does not guarantee an antibiotic prescription.
