OBGYN or Regular Dr.?

I suspect I may have a UTI- i have never had one but I feel bloating and discomfort and like I have to urinate every 10-15 mins.  So who do I make an appt. with to find out for sure?

Re: OBGYN or Regular Dr.?

  • UTIs are the worst. Sad  Hope you are feeling better soon!

    Your regular/family/primary care physician should be able to take a urine sample, get results, and prescribe something if needed...

    But you could also go to your OB/GYN if you're more comfortable with that doc.

    In my experience, either should be okay.

    Meanwhile...drink LOTS of water. 

  • Unless you are pregnant, I would go to your regular doc. You will just have to pee in a cup and they will probably send you home with an antibiotic.

  • Your family doctor.  You may even try calling.  The only UTI I ever had hit me on a Friday evening after the doctor's office was closed.  I called the after hours on call doctor and explained my symptoms and he called in the antibiotic I needed to my pharmacy and I didn't have to go in for an appointment.  In addition to drinking lots of water, drink cranberry juice, it should help alleviate some of the pain though you will continue to pee every 10 mintues.  I hope you feel better soon!
