Skipping antibiotics for a UTI? While some mild cases might clear up on their own, here’s what you need to know.

Can a UTI Go Away Naturally?

Sometimes, yes—but it’s not guaranteed.

  • Mild, lower UTIs (just in the bladder) may resolve in **7–10 days**.
  • If the infection moves to the **kidneys**, it can become serious—and painful.

Warning Signs It’s Not Going Away

  • Fever or chills
  • Back or side pain
  • Nausea or vomiting

These are signs of a kidney infection, and you need medical help—fast.

Natural Support Products

  • D-Mannose – helps flush out bacteria
  • AZO Cranberry Softgels – support urinary tract health
  • Probiotics – keep good bacteria in check
  • AZO Test Strips – monitor UTI at home

Pain Relief

  • AZO Urinary Pain Relief – numbs the burn
  • Cystex – for ongoing relief

Bottom Line

Going without antibiotics can work for some, but it’s risky. If symptoms last more than a few days—or worsen—don’t wait. Get treated.
