How long does it take for a urinary tract infection to heal?

  Urethral infection is an infectious disease caused by the infection of the urethra with pathogenic microorganisms such as Escherichia coli, Streptococcus, Staphylococcus aureus, Gonococcus, Mycoplasma, Chlamydia, etc. It is a common disease of the urinary system and is mainly caused by retrograde infection. The main clinical manifestations are frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and pus flowing from the urethra.  If the patient has a urinary tract infection, it is best to do a culture and drug sensitivity test of urethral secretions or urine, and then choose a sensitive antibiotic for treatment according to the drug sensitivity results, as long as it is reasonable and regular medication, generally about a week can be cured. If the treatment is not clear before the causative organisms and sensitive drugs treatment will certainly be less effective, or even ineffective. For example, if the non-gonococcal urethritis is caused by mycoplasma or chlamydia, the effect of treatment according to gonococcal urethritis is definitely not good, and the treatment period will be extended. In addition, it is important to note that during the treatment period, you need to pay attention to a light diet, abstain from spicy and stimulating food, drink more water and urinate regularly. Pay attention to personal reproductive hygiene. After the symptoms are controlled, the urine routine should be reviewed and the medication should be stopped only after the urine routine is completely normal. Life care is also a very important factor that affects the treatment of UTI.  In summary, urinary tract infections can usually be cured in about a week as long as they are treated correctly with sensitive antibiotics and attention is paid to life care during treatment.
