Travel Insurance for a Urinary Tract Infection

Travelling with a urinary tract infection (UTI) may require a little more preparation, but for many people it doesn’t mean putting holiday plans on hold.

What is a urinary tract infection?

A UTI is a common infection affecting the urinary system, often causing symptoms such as pain or burning when urinating, frequent urges to go, and discomfort in the lower abdomen. In the UK, UTIs affect millions of people each year, particularly women. While symptoms can vary, many individuals recover quickly with treatment such as antibiotics.

A diagnosis doesn’t mean giving up on travel - with the right preparation and medical advice, many people with a urinary tract infection can still travel safely and comfortably, especially once treatment has begun.

Having the right travel insurance in place for a urinary tract infection can help to cover:

• Emergency medical treatment if your condition worsens during your trip
• Hospital stays and related medical expenses abroad
• Medical repatriation to the UK if further treatment is needed
• Cancellation costs if you have to cancel your trip for medical reasons

Travel advice for people with a UTI

• Speak with your doctor before travelling if symptoms are ongoing or have recently worsened
• Keep any prescribed medication easily accessible during your journey
• Stay well hydrated and avoid drinks that may irritate the bladder
• Plan regular access to toilet facilities, particularly during long journeys

During the quote process, we will ask about any pre-existing medical conditions. If relevant, you may need to declare a urinary tract infection on the policy.

Getting travel insurance if you have a urinary tract infection is often still possible. The level of cover depends on your diagnosis and current treatment, so take care to give accurate details when you complete the medical declaration.
