Prevention & self-care tips
- Drink enough water to keep urine pale-yellow (unless restricted by your doctor).
- Don’t hold urine for long; follow timed voiding.
- After intercourse, pass urine and maintain hygiene.
- For diabetics: keep sugars under control to reduce infection risk.
- For stone-formers: adequate fluids, balanced salt, and doctor-guided diet.
Seek urgent care for high fever, chills, severe back/flank pain, inability to pass urine, or visible blood clots in urine.
Frequently Asked Questions
How quickly do antibiotics work for UTI?
Burning often improves in 24–48 hours; complete the full course even if symptoms settle early.
Do I always need a urine culture?
First/recurrent UTIs, severe symptoms, pregnancy, diabetes, or treatment failure benefit from culture to choose the best antibiotic.
Can UTIs be prevented?
Yes—adequate hydration, timed voiding, post-intercourse voiding, and proper hygiene. Specific advice is given for diabetics and post-menopausal women.
When is stone surgery needed?
Large stones, persistent pain/fever, obstruction, single kidney, or failure of medical passage often require ESWL/URS/PCNL—your urologist will guide you.
Are prostate symptoms permanent?
Many improve with lifestyle measures and medicines; surgery is reserved for selected cases (e.g., retention, recurrent infections, or complications).
