Urinary Tract Infections (UTI) Testing in London
By Mr Tharb Faisl
If you’re experiencing discomfort when you wee, or needing to go more often than usual — you might have a urinary tract infection (UTI).
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.
