What Is a UTI?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection most commonly caused by E. coli that travels from the urethra into the bladder. UTIs are one of the most common reasons Alberta women see a primary care physician, and roughly half of women will experience at least one in their lifetime. Most uncomplicated UTIs respond to a 3 to 5 day course of antibiotics.
- Burning or stinging when urinating
- Frequent urgency, even after just voiding
- Cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine
- Pelvic pressure or lower abdominal cramping
- Pinkish or trace blood in the urine

TelePlus Care delivers a consistent, same-day virtual UTI visit to every corner of the province. From booking to prescription, most Alberta patients are done in under an hour.

When to Visit an Alberta Hospital Instead
Virtual care is appropriate for the majority of uncomplicated UTIs. However, certain symptoms point to a kidney infection or a complicated UTI and require an in-person workup at the nearest Alberta Health Services emergency department.
- Fever above 38.5 C with shaking chills
- Severe one-sided back or flank pain
- Persistent vomiting that prevents oral antibiotics
- Pregnancy with urinary symptoms
- No improvement after 48 hours of antibiotics

Preventing Recurrent UTIs
Recurrent UTIs (three or more in a year) affect a significant proportion of Alberta women. Lifestyle measures, combined with medical strategies, can dramatically lower recurrence rates.
- Drink at least 2 litres of water daily
- Empty your bladder fully and within 15 minutes after intercourse
- Wipe front to back to limit bacterial transfer
- Avoid scented hygiene products and douches
- Discuss vaginal estrogen or prophylactic antibiotics with your physician if UTIs recur
