“Is a urinary tract infection an emergency?”
I'm 27, and I have symptoms of a UTI, like burning urination and abdominal pain. Is a urinary tract infection an emergency?

Urinary tract infection is not an emergency in and of itself. Any infection can become an emergency if you develop signs suggestive of sepsis (which includes fevers greater than 101 F, rapid heart rate, breathing rapidly and/or your blood pressure dropping). In case of possible sepsis, go to the emergency room.
