Does Urgent Care Treat UTIs?

A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection that occurs in your urinary system. This includes infections in your uterus, kidneys, urethra, and bladder. Most infections occur in women and the lower tract — the bladder and urethra. There are several diagnostic tests for UTIs. The cost of UTI treatment ranges from $250 to $500.
