Female Conditions
Genitourinary (GU) conditions are medical issues that affect the urinary and reproductive organs. They encompass disorders of the kidneys, ureters, bladder, urethra, vaginal infections and STI’s. Vitality Urgent Care is well-equipped to manage various genitourinary conditions. Here are some of the key GU conditions that can be treated in an urgent care setting:
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): UTIs are common infections that can occur anywhere along the urinary tract, including the bladder, kidneys, ureters, or urethra. They can cause symptoms like frequent urination, pain or burning during urination, and lower abdominal pain. Vitality Urgent Care can provide prompt diagnosis and antibiotic treatment to clear up the infection.
- Kidney Stones: These are hard deposits made of minerals and salts that form inside your kidneys. Kidney stones can cause severe abdominal or back pain. At Vitality Urgent Care, we can help manage the acute pain and refer patients to a specialist if needed.
- Bladder Infections (Cystitis): This condition, most often caused by bacteria, leads to inflammation of the bladder. Symptoms can include discomfort during urination and frequent urination. At Vitality Urgent Care, we provide antibiotic treatment to combat the infection.
- Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Conditions such as chlamydia, gonorrhea, and herpes can be diagnosed and treated at Vitality Urgent Care. Our team offers confidential STI testing and treatment options.

- Comprehensive Diagnostic Services: We offer a range of diagnostic services, including urine tests and STI screenings, which help in the accurate diagnosis of various GU conditions.
- Qualified Professionals: Our team of experienced healthcare professionals is ready to provide compassionate, personalized care tailored to your needs.
- Follow-Up Care: We not only provide immediate care but also guide you on how to manage your condition at home and ensure that you are fully recovered. We can also coordinate with your primary care provider or a specialist for further treatment if needed.

Remember, while urgent care is a great resource for non-emergency situations, GU conditions that involve severe pain, blood in urine, or high fever should be treated as emergencies and warrant a visit to the nearest hospital ER.
