UTI Treatment for Women
We know how uncomfortable and disruptive a urinary tract infection (UTI) can be. From burning pain when passing urine to frequent trips to the toilet, UTIs can affect your daily life and leave you feeling drained.
At Periville Pharmacy, we provide fast and effective UTI treatment for women under the NHS Pharmacy First. This means you can access expert care and relief quickly, without waiting for a GP appointment.
What Is an Uncomplicated UTI?
An uncomplicated UTI is an infection in the bladder or urethra. These infections are common in women, as their shorter urethra makes it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder.
Although usually straightforward to treat, untreated UTIs can spread and lead to kidney infections. Recognising symptoms early and starting treatment helps achieve faster relief and prevents complications.
