The Care Pathway
1. Assessment
Urine testing confirms the infection and the right antibiotic.
2. Antibiotic Therapy
A short course of antibiotics clears the infection.
3. Symptom Relief
Fluids and, where needed, pain relief ease discomfort.
4. Prevention Guidance
For recurring infections, a plan to reduce future risk is discussed.
“Your care team supports you through every stage, from evaluation to recovery and follow-up.”
Expected Benefits and Possible Risks
The primary goal is to clear the infection quickly and prevent it from spreading to the kidneys. Most patients recover fully within days.
Every treatment has potential risks. Your care team will discuss your individual risks before treatment.
Recovery & Follow-up
Most patients feel relief within one to two days of starting antibiotics, with full recovery within a week.
Your care plan includes completing the antibiotic course, increased fluid intake, and prevention guidance for recurring infections.
Careful monitoring, follow-up testing and lifestyle guidance all play an important role in achieving the best possible outcome.
