Urinary Tract Infections

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are usually caused by the invasion of harmful bacteria into the urinary tract, which includes the urethra, bladder, ureters, and kidneys. The infection typically occurs when bacteria from the rectal area enter the urethra and travel upwards. The most common agent is Escherichia Coli (E. coli), a bacteria that naturally resides in the digestive tract but can cause infection when it enters the urinary system. 

This infection often causes pain while urinating and pressure in the abdominal area. It is crucial to receive medical care promptly since leaving UTI untreated could lead to more severe complications.

At Carolina Urgent Care, we offer a comprehensive approach to the diagnosis and treatment of UTIs. Reach out to us or visit our walk-in clinic for more information.

Sexually Transmitted Diseases & Infections

Sexually transmitted diseases and infections (STDs) are the bacteria, viruses, and parasites that affect reproductive organs. These are usually spread through sexual activity, sharing needles, or from mother to child during childbirth or breastfeeding.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), more than 1 million STIs and STDs are acquired every day worldwide, and most are asymptomatic.

If left untreated, they could have serious health consequences. Having STD tests regularly can help detect any issues promptly and avoid complications. 

Regular preventative screenings allow you to take control of your health and start prompt treatment if needed. At Carolina Urgent Care, STD and STI testing is performed with utmost care for privacy and comfort. Don’t hesitate to take care of your well-being by contacting us or visiting our walk-in clinic.
