It will just become reoccurring and very painful then you will have to have a scope down to see how bad the infection is and possibly be put on meds daily for months.

It is best to just have it treated as soon as the onset happens - trust me I had chronic bladder infections and you do not want to go through it.

If a bladder infection goes untreated, the bacteria can migrate up to the kidneys. This can cause a systemic infection and lots of pain. The risk of losing a kidney is too great not to treat the bladder infection. Frankly, a bladder infection is painful enough....why wouldn't you treat it?

This can lead to ascending infection where the bladder can be infected internally.
