Patient's question:
Lately, when I urinate, I always feel a burning sensation down there, and I also go to the bathroom more often than usual. At first, I didn't take it seriously, thinking that drinking more water would help. But after several days, it hasn't improved. I went to the hospital for a thorough check-up, and the doctor said it's a urinary tract infection. I want to know if a urinary tract infection in women can heal on its own?Doctor's answer:
Urinary tract infections in women are usually not self-limiting. If the condition is very mild, drinking more water appropriately and getting adequate rest can also promote recovery. However, it is still best to use anti-inflammatory medications and combine them with symptomatic treatment. Because if the condition is not well-controlled, it can easily lead to the recurrence of chronic urinary tract infections, and this condition is prone to recurring repeatedly.
