do you have to go to the doctor for a UTI?

Question

So do you have to go to the doctor for a UTI??

Answer

Totally depends. You can try and self treat by dramatically increase your water intake, completely cutting sugar out of your diet for a few days (sugar feeds the infection) and also by drinking pure cranberry juice with no sugar added.
However, if you're in a lot of pain, if you have pain/tenderness in your middle back, if you notice blood in your urine, and/or if you spike a fever, you need to see a doctor immediately.

Answer

Yes. If you think maybe you're GETTING one, you can down water and cranberry juice. But once the infection sets in you need to go to the doctor for antibiotics. Especially when pregnant, as if it gets to your kidneys you can not only end up in the hospital, but also end up hurting the baby.

To prevent them you can take a cranberry supplement. I take one daily. But once you get the infection you need antibiotics

Answer

Yea. And eventually after you get a few youll be able to call in and get a script for antibiotic by phone. Easy. Or maybe you can right away,not sure. Call first and ask for nurse. 
Get meds. Feel better!
