Practical guidance for Houston patients
When telehealth may be considered
Some uncomplicated urinary symptoms in nonpregnant adults can be assessed virtually after history. A urine test or culture may be recommended, especially with recurrent symptoms or treatment failures.
Do not overlook serious infection
Fever, shaking chills, flank pain, vomiting, pregnancy, urinary obstruction or significant illness may indicate a complicated infection requiring urgent in-person evaluation.
Testing and follow-up
If prescribed treatment does not help or symptoms recur, reassessment and urine culture may be needed. Antibiotics are prescribed only when medically indicated.
