    I get UTIs more often than I would like. 💦 My doctor says most clear up, but I worry about kidney involvement. When is a UTI serious?

    UTI and kidney risk

    When to seek urgent care

    Symptom Warning sign
    High fever 🌡️ Possible kidney infection
    Flank or back pain 🫘 Pain near kidneys
    Shaking chills 🥶 Systemic spread possible
    Nausea and vomiting 🤢 Needs evaluation

    Prevention tips

    • Stay hydrated
    • Urinate after intimacy
    • Do not hold urine for long
    • Finish prescribed antibiotics fully

    What has helped you prevent recurrent UTIs? 💬
