Can a urinary tract infection resolve on its own or do I have to take antibiotics?Based on my symptoms I think I have a UTI (urinary tract infection). I had one 2 months ago for the 1st time so the symptoms are still fresh in my head. Can I call and get a prescription or do I have to go in and get all the lab work done again? Better yet, can it resolve on its own? I don't have the money to go to another drs appointment and get labs done.

Why suffer needlessly? Go to the pharmacy and pick up an over the counter medication like Uristat. If it gets worse, call your doctor.

i feel ya.. UTI's suck! but they do not clear up on their own~ depending on how many time's you have gone to that particular office... your doctor may be able to call you in a perscription. Call to speak with him/her and tell them you were there a couple of months ago and that you're positive u have a UTI and he/she may just call you in your meds. My doctor has done it for me before.

An urinary tract infection wil certainly not go away. It will possibly spread and cause nephritis or pyelonephritis. You should see your doctor immediately and take the correct antibiotic medicine (Probably nalydixic acid) sometimes sold under the brandname Pirifur. Please take your medicine for at least 7 to 8 days EVEN AFTER THE PAIN HAS DISAPPEARED. All the best. Dr. House

In my experience,yes,it can resolve itself.Drink loads of cranberry juice and yogurt and you'll feel better in a couple days.It works for me! (Keep in mind,though,I'm NOT a doctor and don't play one on tv!:)
