What is a urinary tract infection?

A urinary tract infection is an inflammatory response caused by microbes, usually bacteria, in the urinary system. The infection most commonly targets the lower urinary tract, which includes the bladder and the urethra. Women are biologically more susceptible to these infections than men due to a shorter urethra. Left untreated, a lower urinary tract infection can ascend to the kidneys and cause more severe medical complications.

What are the common symptoms of a UTI?

• A sharp or burning pain when passing urine.
• An urgent and frequent need to urinate, often producing only small amounts.
• Pain or pressure in your lower abdomen or pelvis.
• Cloudy, dark, or strong-smelling urine.
• A feeling of being generally unwell, tired, or achy.

How does an online GP consultation for a UTI work?

You can book a video or phone consultation on NOVAGP.IE without downloading an application or paying a recurring subscription fee. During your scheduled call, our Irish-registered GP will review your medical history and evaluate your current symptoms. If the doctor confirms a diagnosis of an uncomplicated UTI, they will write an appropriate prescription. This prescription is immediately sent to your chosen pharmacy in Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, or any other location in Ireland via Healthmail.

Who is eligible for online cystitis treatment?

Our online GP service provides assessment and treatment for adult women in Ireland who present with symptoms of an uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection. We do not treat pregnant individuals, children, or men online for UTI symptoms, as these cases carry a higher clinical risk and require physical evaluation. You must be physically located within the Republic of Ireland at the time of your video or phone consultation to use this service.

When should I see an in-person GP for my symptoms?

You must seek immediate, in-person medical care if you experience signs of a kidney infection. These signs include pain in your back or side, a high fever, chills, nausea, or vomiting. Male patients and pregnant individuals who suspect they have a urinary infection should also see an in-person doctor. If your symptoms do not improve within forty-eight hours of starting prescribed antibiotics, you should contact a GP for further evaluation.
