UTIs / Cystitis

What is a UTI?

A Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) is a bacterial infection of the lower urinary tract, including the bladder and urethra.

Most UTI sufferers recover quite quickly. But not all. For some, the symptoms keep coming back. For some, they never go away.

Recurrent or relapsing UTIs

The symptoms of recurrent (long-standing) UTIs may differ; the pain can be a little less intense. But that doesn’t make it any easier to live with. Relentless pain is wearing.

Unfortunately, conventional treatment with antibiotics can lead to thrush and/or a bacterial vaginal infection. Don’t worry. We can test for them too – and treat them at the same time.

Common UTI Symptoms

It feels like no-one understands

The depth of suffering that UTIs cause is generally underestimated and misunderstood. A recurrent UTI can really reduce your quality of life.

“Having a UTI is like living with a feeling of poison under my skin and running through my veins. I can’t think clearly or concentrate on any task, however small.”

But it’s not just about the discomfort. No one else really understands what you’re going through. No one else knows what to do about it. And that’s scary.

Closure of waiting list

Unfortunately, the clinic is unable to offer any new patient appointments at the moment, either in person or virtual. However, we can still offer testing via our private laboratory. You can find details for this on our website focuslabs.online. We apologise for any inconvienence caused.
