What are the consequences of neglecting to treat UTI?

Hi, you should see a urologist in situations as follows: 1. UTI not getting better after a course of antibiotics 2. Frequent UTI i. e. 3 attacks in a year or 2 attacks in 6 months 3. Flank or back pain with or without fever 4. Blood in the urine 5. If you have previous urinary stone diseases or you had surgery to your kidneys/ureters/bladder 6. If you have neurological problems such as spine problems, Parkinson's disease, stroke. 7. Males In my opinion, young ladies usually will need to see a urologist for situations 1–4.

Frequent sex can introduce bacteria infection of the bladder due to proximity of the female urethra with the vagina and the anus. The female urethra is short and therefore it is easier for UTIs to occur. We sometimes refer to frequent sex causing UTIs as “honeymoon cystitis”Ways to prevent UTIs after sex: 1. Try to pass urine after sex2 Proper hygiene such as wiping from front to back or a wash (with water) after sex might helpIf the UTI occurs too frequently, you will need to be seen by a specialist to rule out any underlying causes.
