Common UTI and cystitis symptoms

A burning or stinging feeling when you pass urine
Needing to go more often or more urgently
Cloudy, strong-smelling urine, or urine that looks pink or red
Pain low in the tummy or lower back

How an online doctor helps

Your doctor asks about your symptoms, how long you have had them, any previous infections, other health conditions, allergies and medicines. Where it is clinically appropriate, they may advise self-care measures or prescribe treatment, which is sent to your pharmacy. They may also ask you to give a urine sample to your own GP or a local service.

Signs you need to be seen in person quickly

A high temperature, shivering or feeling very unwell
Pain in your back or side, or vomiting
Blood in the urine that does not settle
Symptoms in pregnancy, in men, or in children
Symptoms that return again and again

Self-care while you arrange help

Drink plenty of fluids, take simple pain relief that is suitable for you, and avoid holding urine in. The HSE has a clear guide to cystitis, linked below.

Frequently asked questions

Can I get treatment for a UTI online in Ireland?

If your doctor decides it is clinically appropriate after your consultation, they can send a prescription to your pharmacy. They will tell you if you need to be seen or tested in person.

Is a UTI an emergency?

Usually not, but a fever, back pain, vomiting or feeling very unwell needs prompt in-person care. In an emergency call 112 or 999.

Do men and children use the service for UTI symptoms?

Urinary symptoms in men, in children and in pregnancy can need tests or examination, so your doctor may advise you to be seen in person.
