How To Treat A UTI?

UTIs are often treated with antibiotics, but not all antibiotics work for every UTI. Why? Read on to learn why it's crucial to find the right treatment for your specific infection.

The Problem with Antibiotics: Not Always a Perfect Solution

Up to 50% of antibiotics prescribed for UTIs may not be the best choice. This is because UTIs can be caused by different bacteria, and some antibiotics might not be effective against them. Plus, using the wrong antibiotics can lead to antibiotic resistance, making future infections harder to treat.
