(NSFW) Is it possible to stop a UTI in its tracks without having to go to the doctors?
I think I may be coming down with a UTI as a result of holding in my pee while at work (sometimes I get so busy that I forget to go to the ladies’ room). I’ve been having symptoms of a UTI for the past 3–4 days but it definitely doesn’t hurt as badly as the last time I had one, about 4–5 years ago. It’s just very, very uncomfortable to pee and I have to go more often than I used to.
I’ve been drinking lots of water and today I do feel slightly better than the past few days but I still have discomfort.
Is there anything I can do at home to make it go away? Or will I have to go to the doctors? Although I have health insurance, I hate going to the doctors so if there are any tried and true home remedies, I’d rather do those.
Thanks in advance!
