medical TMI

[(Anonymous)]

Does anybody know if urinary tract infections resolve themselves, or if antibiotics is the only way to fix them? Tried to schedule an appointment, but everyone is still closed. It's been about two weeks for me.

get thee to a doctor ASAP

UTIs are dangerous if left untreated! the infection will spread

You can alleviate the symptoms with cranberry juice and hot showers during the first few days (source: my mom who suffers from UTIs every year) but at this point in time you're playing with fire

I've had them, they're awful, aren't they? Unfortunately I've never heard of one resolving itself, you have to go to a doctor.

Re: medical TMI

They can resolve themselves, but you leave yourself open to complications that can cause life long problems if you try to just tough it out. And that is best case scenario, because one of the complications from which you can't recover from is called death. You can't walk off a case of death. People have tried, didn't work. Honestly, if it has been two weeks and you are still in pain, then the Emergency Room beckons. I know that it is a pain going to one, especially with the pandemic still being a thing, and they take forever to see you, but you're already in the risk zone and rather than keeping on waiting even longer than that for everywhere else to open up, you can get your antibiotics and start your recovery at some point today. Just remember to mask up when you go.

An untreated UTI is a good way of becoming unalive.

Go to the ER. I had one when I was younger that I thought resolved itself but came back SO BAD a few days later. And when I told the Dr that I thought it resolved itself, he said that they don't ever resolve themselves.

Uh, well, the one time I didn't get one treated, it got worse and turned into a kidney infection. That was probably the worst pain of my life, would not recommend.

You need antibiotics, UTIs absolutely cannot resolve themselves. I’m sorry you’re going through this, nonnie :(

Definitely get yourself to a doctor ASAP. Try an urgent care if you can't get an appointment with your regular doctor.

Re: medical TMI

You need to see a doctor and get antibiotics, don't wait for this to resolve itself because the complications of an untreated UTI can be nasty. Try looking for an Urgent Care if you're in the U.S. If you've got a CVS Minute Clinic nearby, they can also treat them, I believe.

I had one go away on its own but it only lasted a day. Two weeks? I didn't even know they could last that long. (The other one I had, I went to urgent care the morning after the symptoms started but the symptoms were already going away by that point.) You need to find a way to go to a doctor so you don't get a kidney infection. Urgent care? Clinic in a pharmacy? Emergency room?

OP

[(Anonymous)]

Thank you everyone for the good advice! It's been really frustrating trying to find doctors who are available over the holidays, as well as dealing with my mom who's been trying to give me over-the-counter homeopathy to deal with this. Sadly, there are no convenient CVS clinics in my area, RIP. If I see an urgent care clinic, I will run towards to it.
