May 13, 2025

UTIs are common, often painful, and can escalate if not treated quickly. At Marylebone Diagnostic Centre, we provide private, same-day UTI testing in London, with fast results and no GP referral needed.

Whether it’s your first time or a recurring issue, we’re here to help you feel better, faster.

What Is a UTI?

A UTI is an infection anywhere along your urinary tract, including:

Bladder
Urethra
Ureters
Kidneys

The most common type is cystitis, an infection of the bladder. While UTIs are more common in women, men — particularly older adults — can also develop them.

For more in-depth clinical details, visit the NHS page on UTIs.

Common Symptoms of a UTI

Burning or stinging when passing urine
Frequent urge to urinate (even after just going)
Passing small amounts of urine
Lower abdominal pain or pressure
Cloudy, dark, or foul-smelling urine
In severe cases: fever, back pain, or chills

🔴 Untreated UTIs can lead to serious kidney infections — don’t ignore the symptoms.
