Contact UsWhat Is A UTI, and What Are the Symptoms?
A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection of the urinary tract, which may affect a portion of or the entire urinary system. At times, UTIs affect the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. UTIs are most common in women due to anatomical differences; however, men can and do get UTIs as well. The symptoms associated with a UTI are quite easy to identify, though the condition itself will need to be diagnosed and treated by a medical professional. The most common symptoms include:
- A strong urge to urinate frequently
- Cloudy urine
- Pelvic pain
- The sensation that you cannot fully empty your bladder
- A burning feeling while urinating
- Lower back pain

We’ve been with Health Direction since 2020 and have been happy with how they take care of us. The transition to the Livewell app has made everything smoother and more efficient. Easier to schedule visits and easier to communicate with the physicians/staff regarding our needs. The front desk staff are also friendly and accommodating. Overall a pleasant experience with them!
I enjoyed my experience at the clinic. I felt cared for and they listened to my needs. At the end of the day my symptoms improved and I feel calmer. Thank you!
I Love this clinic I had never felt so comfortable at a doctors visit! Dr.Mella is such a good listener and answers all my questions in details. I recommend this place very neat and friendly!
