Get Immediate Help for Urinary Tract Infections in Lodi
Urinary tract infection (also known as a UTI or cystitis) is a common and frustrating ailment. It can cause frequent urination and a burning sensation when urinating. Other symptoms include:
- Fever and chills
- Fatigue
- Pressure or pain in the lower back
- Cloudy, dark or bloody urine
- Strange smelling urine
Understanding the Causes of UTIs
UTIs are generally caused by bacteria that infect the urethra (the tube that empties urine from the body), the ureters (two tubes that carry urine to the bladder), the kidneys and/or the bladder. In rare situations, viruses, fungi or parasites may also cause a UTI.
Since women have shorter ureters than men, UTIs are more common in women. However, men can still contract a UTI. A number of conditions can also lead to urinary tract or bladder infections. These conditions include:
- Diabetes
- Enlarged Prostate
- Kidney Stones
- Menopause
- Pregnancy
- Problems Emptying Your Bladder
- Incontinence (Bowel Troubles)
- Narrowed Urethra
Surgeries, catheterization and sexual activity can also lead to a UTI. Note that a UTI is not considered a sexually transmitted disease.
Effective Treatment Options for UTIs
Depending on the type of infection, treating a UTI can be as simple as taking a regimen of antibiotics. However, if the infection is resistant or the infection has lingered too long, other health problems may occur. If you are experiencing any UTI symptoms, you should come to one of our medical facilities for testing and treatment. We have locations in Lodi, Manteca and Stockton.

What is telehealth?Telehealth (also known as Telemedicine) is a doctor’s visit that does not require face-to-face interaction. It occurs 100 percent online. You can use your computer, tablet, or smartphone to conduct a telemedicine appointment. This is a great option for people with busy schedules who do not have time to visit their doctor in person. It is also a great option for people in rural areas who do not have the same access to healthcare as people in large cities. Now, patients can meet with a medical professional from the comfort of their own homes.

How Much Does Telemedicine and Urgent Care Cost?The cost of a telemedicine appointment will vary depending on your health insurance coverage. However, a telemedicine appointment at an urgent care center is much cheaper than the cost of visiting a California emergency room.
