NO. urinary tract infection is usually caused by bacteria which need to be killed by medicines. The infection will spread to kidneys if left untreated. In general, antibiotics are the most common treatment for the infection. Alternative medicine called Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can also used to cure it.

∙ 8y agoOnly if you're very, very lucky will it go away by itself. The standard advice is to drink copious fluids and see a doctor as soon as possible. If the condition is severe, you can take some antibiotics or diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill for help. GOOD LUCK TO YOU!

∙ 13y agoHardly ever, it is better to take antibiotics provided by your doctor.
An untreated bladder- infection can cause a kidney- infection and infection of the uterus, which in turn (after quite a while) can cause infertility. So it is best to treat it, or at least let the doctor look at it.
Good luck!

∙ 15y agoNo. When an infection** is present, (** this is the discharge of puss in concert with redness, swelling and warm to the touch ) this is an indication that the infection has passed the point at which the body can fight it by it's self. Assistance is needed to fight the infection, hense the pain swelling and discharge of puss, to draw attention to the problem so you can assist in fighting the infection. Cleaning the piercing, application of warm compresses and the other outside measures need to be take to resolve the issue. With the application of outside assistance most piercing related infection that are caught in time can be resolved in 24 to 48 hours.

Can uti symptoms in a man just go away?
Eventually, yes, as your body attacks the bacteria that caused the UTI, it will get better -- just takes a while. However, you can speed up the process by taking an antibiotic or, if you want to avoid medications, you can increase the acidity in the body by drinking cranberry juice -- the 100% juice, not the cocktail juice. I think Juicy Juice and Ocean Spray are the only ones that have a 100% cranberry juice out there.

Why do some men get painful erections with UTI's?
During erection, the urethra stretches and lengthens. A urethra that is already inflamed by a urinary tract infection (UTI) may become painful during erection and sexual intercourse. UTI's, in and of themselves, rarely cause erections. Unintended erections may occur as a result of hypersensitivity of the penis secondary to inflammation. Because of the capacity of UTI's to produce scarring and other deleterious effects, they should not go untreated. Don't suffer in silence or be embarrassed, seek medical help as soon as possible.
