Recurrent Urinary Tract Infection (UTI) Pathway

Before your appointment

To get ready for your appointment with your healthcare provider:

Make a list of all the times you have been diagnosed with or treated for a urinary tract infection (UTI).
Use a symptom tracker (PDF) to help you remember information about your symptoms, like what symptom you’re feeling, when it started, how often it happens, and what makes it better or worse.
Make a list of your questions and concerns. When you’re done, mark the things that are most important to you.
Make a list of the prescription and non-prescription (over-the-counter) medicines you use, including any vitamins, herbs, and supplements.
Ask someone you trust to go with you to your appointment. They can help you ask questions, write down instructions, and remember explanations.
Bring a pen and paper and plan to write notes during the visit. Or you can record the conversation using your phone or an app like the Alberta Health Services My Care Conversations app.
