How to treat a UTI at home without antibiotics?

While some mild urinary tract infections (UTIs) may improve with home remedies, it is important to monitor symptoms closely. Staying hydrated, using heat therapy, and considering certain supplements can provide relief, but antibiotics are usually necessary for full recovery.

Clinical Context

Not all UTIs will resolve without antibiotics. Clinics often recommend early consultation, especially for women who are pregnant, have recurrent infections, or underlying health conditions.

Evidence-Based Approaches

NICE and NHS recommend antibiotics as the main treatment. Supportive therapies include hydration, pain management, and possible use of cranberry extract or D-mannose. Always seek professional advice for persistent symptoms.
