UTI Symptoms: When to Speak to a Pharmacist

Mustafa Ameer · 18 September 2026

A urinary tract infection can cause a burning feeling when passing urine, needing to go more often, cloudy urine or discomfort low in the abdomen. These symptoms are common, but a proper assessment matters because other conditions can feel similar.

How the pharmacy can help

Our pharmacist will ask about your symptoms, health and medicines in a private consultation. Where the service is suitable, we can advise and provide treatment. If anything needs further investigation, we will explain where to seek care.

When to seek urgent advice

  • Pain in your back or side
  • A high temperature, shivering or feeling very unwell
  • Blood in your urine
  • Pregnancy or symptoms in a child
Do not ignore worsening symptoms. Prompt advice helps make sure you receive the right care.
