Is UTI common for girls? Can it be left untreated?

For girls yeah because of where the urinary tract is it's got less protection than guys do.
Never ever ever leave any infection alone, especially an internal one like a UTI. See your GP or prescribing pharmacist and you'll go on a week on antibiotics to treat the infection and that's it sorted. You have one if you have any changes in urine colour , peeing habits or pain will peeing. So get it checked out!!
Left untreated, there's a chance the infection manifests and spreads causing sepsis, which is fatal

It's common. And not really, now a UTI can and probably will go away if you drink more water for a week however it's best to always get it checked because if it's not one that can be naturally flushed out, the infection basically spreads through your body and won't stop.

Very common.

Definitely needs to be treated.

Untreated could lead to kidney problems

[Asker]

Can it be treated naturally?

[Msputiton]

Yeah. Sometimes you need meds.
But drinking nothing but cranberry juice for a few days could clear it up.
But if it doesn't clear up in a few days very important to see a doctor

[Asker]

Thanks for your suggestion. Will definitely follow it

Sadly it is more common for women... And under no circumstances leave it untreated.

[Asker]

What should a girl needs to do if she have that?

[EmmaMary]

Either make an appointment to see your Doctor/GP, or at least talk to your local pharmacy.
