What is a urinary tract infection (UTI)?
A UTI is an infection that occurs when bacteria enter and multiply in the lower urinary tract, which includes the urethra and bladder. If left untreated, the infection can travel to the kidneys, where it may become more serious.

Pain or burning during urination
Frequent or urgent need to urinate
Tenderness or discomfort above the pubic bone

iVisitDoc Care & Access
What telehealth options are available for UTI treatment?
iVisitDoc offers virtual consultations with licensed providers who can assess your symptoms, review your health history, and determine the best treatment plan. Visits are conducted securely via video or phone.
Can I use my health insurance for iVisitDoc Pay-per-Visit?
Pay-per-Visit is a self-pay service, so patients pay for the consultation upfront. Once you begin treatment with iVisitDoc, we can help coordinate with your insurance provider to potentially cover future visits or prescribed medications.
What happens if my provider can’t diagnose or treat my issue through Pay-per-Visit?
If your provider determines that your symptoms require in-person evaluation or additional testing, they will guide you to the appropriate care setting, such as an urgent care clinic or your primary care provider.
Can I communicate with a provider after my Pay-per-Visit treatment plan?
Yes. iVisitDoc allows follow-up communication with your provider for questions or clarifications related to your treatment plan.
How does iVisitDoc protect my health information?
iVisitDoc uses secure, HIPAA-compliant technology to protect your personal health information. All communications and medical records are encrypted and stored safely to ensure your privacy.
About UTI
Can men get UTI treatment through Pay-per-Visit?
Yes, men can receive UTI treatment through iVisitDoc, though UTIs are less common in men. Male patients will be evaluated to ensure the infection is properly diagnosed and treated.
Why do women get more UTIs than men?
Women are more prone to UTIs due to anatomy—the urethra is shorter, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder. Hormonal changes and other factors can also contribute to higher rates of infection.
How common are UTIs?
UTIs are very common. About 50–60% of women will experience a UTI at least once in their lifetime, and many people experience recurring infections.
How do you treat a UTI?
Treatment typically involves antibiotics prescribed by a licensed provider. Providers may also recommend hydration and over-the-counter remedies to relieve symptoms.
Can I be treated for frequent or recurring UTIs through Pay-per-Visit?
Yes, iVisitDoc can help manage recurring UTIs. Your provider may discuss preventive strategies, lifestyle adjustments, or long-term treatment plans depending on your history.
What about Pyridium?
Pyridium (phenazopyridine) is a medication that helps relieve the burning and discomfort of a UTI but does not treat the infection itself. Your provider may recommend it alongside antibiotics.
Would cranberry juice or tablets help my UTI?
Cranberry products may help prevent UTIs in some people but are not a substitute for medical treatment. They are best used as a preventive measure rather than a cure.
Clinical Sources
iVisitDoc relies on current, evidence-based guidelines from organizations such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Infectious Diseases Society of America (IDSA) for UTI diagnosis and treatment.
