Did you know urinary tract infections, also known as UTIs, are one of the most common infections? Even though people of any gender can get them, four times as many women get UTIs as men. If you notice any of these symptoms, you may have a UTI: 

  • Pain or burning when you pee
  • Urge to urinate often (“urgency”), or feeling like you can’t pee when you need to (“hesitancy”)
  • Pressure in your lower belly
  • Urine that smells bad or looks cloudy
  • Blood in your urine

If you think you have a UTI, you can get in touch with your Caraway Care Team 24/7. We can get you the right diagnosis, and get the antibiotics you need to treat a UTI sent to you at home or in your dorm.
