Conveniently located between San Rafael and Novato, our clinic provides fast, accurate diagnosis and personalized UTI treatment so you can start feeling better as soon as possible.
Understanding What Causes UTIs
A UTI develops when bacteria, often Escherichia coli (E. coli) from the digestive system, enter the urinary tract and multiply. These infections can affect different areas, including:
- Urethritis – infection in the urethra
- Cystitis – bladder infection, the most common type
- Pyelonephritis – kidney infection, a more serious condition if untreated
Prompt treatment helps prevent complications and recurring infections, making early care essential.
Signs It’s Time to Seek Treatment
UTI symptoms can vary, but common warning signs include:
- A persistent urge to urinate
- Burning or stinging during urination
- Lower abdominal pressure or discomfort
- Cloudy, strong-smelling, or discolored urine
- Fatigue or mild fever
Ignoring these symptoms can allow the infection to worsen, so getting checked quickly is always best.
How We Diagnose UTIs
Our clinic uses on-site testing to diagnose UTIs quickly and accurately. A simple urinalysis checks for bacteria, white blood cells, and other markers of infection. Results are processed promptly so you can start treatment during the same visit.
Effective UTI Treatment Options
UTI treatment focuses on two goals: clearing the infection and easing discomfort.
- Targeted antibiotics – Prescribed based on test results to address the specific bacteria involved.
- Symptom relief – UTI pain treatment options may include over-the-counter pain relievers, hydration recommendations, and tips for avoiding bladder irritants.
- Advanced care – For kidney infections or frequent recurrences, stronger medications or extended treatments may be recommended.

Some UTI cases require immediate attention. Visit our clinic right away if you experience:
