What Are the Symptoms of UTI, and How Can It Be Treated Quickly? - #14458
I recently experienced burning sensation while urinating and frequent urges to go to the bathroom, and I suspect I might have a UTI (urinary tract infection). I want to understand what causes UTIs, how they can be treated, and what steps can be taken to prevent them. Some people say that drinking cranberry juice helps, but I am unsure whether medical treatment is always required. UTIs occur when bacteria (usually E. coli) enter the urinary tract, leading to pain, burning, urgency, and lower abdominal discomfort. Doctors often prescribe antibiotics to clear the infection, but some people prefer natural remedies like drinking plenty of water, using probiotics, and consuming D-mannose. However, I want to know whether untreated UTIs can lead to kidney infections or other complications. For those who have had UTIs, what treatments worked best for fast relief and preventing future infections? Would love insights into the best UTI treatments and whether home remedies are effective.
