I had a UTI a couple of months ago, but after a few weeks it went away. But every so often it comes back for a day or so…
Will it continue like this or will it eventually just go away completely?
cranberry juice is meant ta b dun a glass a day. also try drink 2 ltrs water a day an pee often spec before an aftr sex.
wen u do feel it comn on get into a bath with detol or savlon in it it rly helps flush it outta ya!!

You should drink low-sugar Cranberry juice as often as possible, and drink loads of it when an attack comes on. It stops the bacteria sticking to the walls of your bladder & flushes your system.
Also, peeing after sex flushes out the 'germs' and helps keep it at bay.

It will probably come and go until you get some antibiotics to blast out the reacurring bacteria, next time it comes just pop along to your docs, they will get you to do a pee in a pot and dip test it and give you some meds to clear it up. Really no big deal not invasive at all and it's better then getting that horrible pain every few weeks.

Drink cranberry juice. Works for me. Works for my husband. Can be the low sugar kind. Unfortunately, it does come back, but the cranberry juice can keep it away if you drink it every other day (cause not good to drink the same thing every day or it loses it's effectiveness). Good luck, I hope you feel better.

You need to have swabs takes so it can be identifies what sort then it will be decide if antibiotic are needed
In the meantime drink plenty of Ural that helps flush the kidneys out

UTI's are serious. You should def go to the docs and get an antibiotic. And you don't have to wait until it comes back- Go Now!! You could be doing damage to the good stuff and might not be able to have little ones. Good Luck!

Sometimes cystitis does settle by itself or with products you can buy from the chemist. If however you are passing blood in your urine or have any crampy tummy or lower back pain then you really need antibiotics to settle things.
Make sure you drink lots and lots of water. There is no clinical evidence that cranberry juice helps, although some people swear by it. The clinical recommendation is that if you want cranberry juice then have no more than 1 or 2 glasses a day….plain water is best for flushing bacteria through the system. Make sure you go to the loo as soon as you get the urge…again to help keep bacteria flushed away…and don't use scented soaps, bubble baths or talc in that area when you have symptoms. Make sure you wipe from front to back and try and wear cotton pants.
It may just settle down but if your attacks are becoming frequent then again, I would recommend you see your doctor.
Take care.

You NEED to see a DOCTOR NOW! UTIs DO NOT go away without antibiotics. Cranberry juice only PREVENTS UTIs. It DOES NOT CURE THEM! Please go to the doctor before your damage your kidneys which WILL happen.

Ended up having to have kidney surgery to take out a blocked uterer because of recurrent UTIs that didn't get treated and I didn't know I had.

cranberry juice is goood and if u dilute half with water, even better. that way u have loadsa fluid going in your system and your bladder wont itch, it itches for u to go loo and not pass wee coz ur urine is thick and not diluted as in it doesnt have enough water so 'not act so aggressive' against your bladder lining. Soooo…have lots of water and juices to flush it out of your system. If symptoms persist, u might have to go docs but thats the real reason behind it. `too much acid in urine. no spicy food or things like that., that cause acid. stress causes acid too by the way. u might need to sort out indigestion problems. less alcohol, no smoking and OMG coffee. That is the worst thing u could have for cystitis. no coffee and no tea. if u want to, then have decaffienated tea. thats best bet. no chocolate either.
