Visit Us to Treat UTIs and Kidney Infections
Urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney infections occur when harmful bacteria enter the urinary system, affecting the bladder, urethra, or kidneys. UTIs typically cause symptoms like burning during urination, frequent urges to urinate, and pelvic discomfort. If untreated, the infection can travel to the kidneys, leading to severe symptoms like back pain, fever, nausea, and chills. At Surfside Urgent Care of Laguna Beach, we diagnose and treat both urinary tract and kidney infections quickly and effectively.

Urinary Tract Infections vs. Kidney Infections
Urinary Tract Infections
A urinary tract infection (UTI) typically affects the lower part of the urinary system, such as the bladder and urethra. UTIs are more common in women and often result from bacteria entering the urethra, leading to a strong urge to urinate, burning during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and lower abdominal discomfort. Though often mild, UTIs should be treated promptly to prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys. Our UTI doctor in Laguna Beach can provide timely diagnosis and treatment to help prevent complications.
Kidney Infections
Kidney infections, or pyelonephritis, occur when bacteria from a UTI travel upward into the kidneys. This condition is more serious and can cause high fever, chills, lower back or side pain, nausea, and vomiting. Kidney infections can lead to permanent damage if not treated quickly and may require longer antibiotics or even hospitalization. Prompt diagnosis and care are essential, so it’s crucial to seek medical attention if UTI symptoms worsen or persist.

Monique K.
I needed to get my son in to see a doctor ASAP while traveling and was able to book online and get an appointment same day, within 2 hours. My kids enjoyed the beach decor and free WiFi for the short time we were there… we were in and out, super quick. I will be back to try their IV’s.
