Painful Urinary Tract Infection? Receive Prompt UTI Treatment in Orlando, FL

UTI Treatment Orlando FL Do you need UTI treatment? A urinary tract infection can develop if harmful bacteria enter your urethra and multiply in your bladder. UTIs are very common, especially among women. Due to anatomical differences, women are more prone to UTIs than men, mainly because bacteria can more easily reach a woman’s bladder through her relatively short urethra.

A urinary tract infection can be painful and disruptive, but that’s not the only reason to seek professional UTI treatment. If left untreated, the bacteria in your bladder can move into your kidneys, enter your bloodstream, and cause potentially serious complications. Also, due to the growing prevalence of hardy, antibiotic-resistant bacteria, UTIs are becoming increasingly difficult to treat.

UTI Treatment When You Need It

As a member of Optimum Direct Care, a direct primary care (DPC) practice in Orlando, Florida, you’ll have unrestricted access to our board-certified family practice physician, Dr. Toni “Muzzi” Muzzonigro, which means you can receive prompt UTI treatment when you need it. Come to Optimum Direct Care right away if you experience any symptoms of a urinary tract infection, which can include:

Burning during urination
Cloudy, dark, bloody, or foul-smelling urine
Urinary urgency or frequency
Urine leakage
Bladder spasms
Pelvic pain

After you arrive at our office, we’ll ask you to provide a urine sample, which we will immediately test for bacteria in our on-site lab. If Dr. Muzzi diagnoses you with a urinary tract infection, she will likely prescribe antibiotic treatment. Because you can obtain free generic prescriptions from our office formulary, you can begin your UTI treatment right away.

Even if you start to feel better before you finish your antibiotics, you should complete the entire course as prescribed by Dr. Muzzi. If you stop taking your medication too soon, some of the bacteria in your bladder may linger, allowing your infection to persist and possibly worsen. Also, you should drink plenty of water to help flush the bacteria out of your body.

If you think you might have a urinary tract infection, you should seek UTI treatment without delay. If you aren’t already a member of Optimum Direct Care, contact us to inquire about membership in our Orlando-based DPC practice today.

“When I left my corporate job to start my own business, one of many new challenges was finding quality health care. When I was starting to look for a new Primary Care Doctor, a peer recommended Direct Primary Care. I did some research and found Dr. Muzzi. In the years leading up to finding Dr. Muzzi, the way I think about my health evolved to fit a more modern view of health and science with a focus on overall wellness and preventative medicine. I was surprised and delighted on my first visit to find Dr. Muzzi not only shared this view, but was practicing medicine in this way. Focusing on my overall wellness rather than treating symptoms has improved my quality of life and undoubtedly add quality years to my life. Dr. Muzzi knows me. She knows what I do for work, where I travel, sports and activities, our pets, what I wear to Burning Man and even knows my Dad (who approves!). Taken at face value, this may seem like a cute note to show that we’re friendly. But this depth of knowledge is organically woven into the care she provides every time we speak and my health is better for it. I never imagined Dr. Muzzi existed before I found her. Now, I can’t picture a future of my healthcare without her. If the traditional Doctor / Patient relationship makes you feel like you’re stuck in I4 traffic (frustrated & certain no one will ever fix it) and you want to change that, you’re in the right place.”
