What Is a Urinary Tract Infection?
10. Other Treatments
Some people will experience more severe infections, or they might find that infections keep on returning. These cases will require different treatment from standard cases. For example, treatment might include a low dosage of antibiotics that is to be taken in the long term.
If you are prone to developing a urinary tract infection, then you may be required to take a dose of antibiotics after every time you have sex. If you have a particularly severe infection, then you may need to be admitted to a hospital where you can be given antibiotics intravenously. Estrogen therapy may also be prescribed in women that have regular infections.
