“Urinary tract infections or UTIs are bacterial infections in the bladder and they typically cause a burning sensation when people urinate and also often urinary urgency, which means that people feel that they need to run to the bathroom – they can’t wait – and frequency, which means they’re running to the bathroom very, very often. It’s, unfortunately, something which is very common particularly in women, much more so than in men. When people have symptoms like this, it’s good to start out by drinking a lot of fluids and cranberry juice sometimes helps some people feel a little better, but it’s really best to see a doctor and have a test done to verify whether this is a urinary tract infection or perhaps something else. Mount Sinai has urgent care centers in Brooklyn and Manhattan that are open every day, 365 days a year, and you don’t need an appointment – you just walk in and we’d be happy to see you.”
