UTIs are normally treated with antibiotics. The type of antibiotics used will depend on the type of bacteria that is found to be the cause of your UTI. Completing the full course of antibiotic treatment is important even if symptoms disappear before the end of the prescribed course.  For patients with recurrent UTIs, the doctor may give them an antibiotic prescription and other patient services and advise them to take antibiotics when symptoms arise, every other day, or after they have sexual intercourse. With frequent use of antibiotics, resistance to the drug may occur. In this case, other interventions might be suggested by your doctor. You might be advised to take non-prescription supplements or even just try to help control the infection by drinking more fluids to naturally dispel the bacteria. If the infection becomes severe and antibiotics cannot be used, intravenous antibiotics or other treatments may have to be provided at the hospital.
