If a UTI is left untreated, the E. coli or other bacteria that caused your urinary tract infection can move farther up your urinary system. When they reach your upper urinary system (comprising the ureters and kidneys), you may experience a kidney infection, medically known as pyelonephritis.

Most people seek medical help and receive treatment before they get to this point.

The progression to a kidney infection typically takes some time and doesn't happen immediately. However, the exact duration can vary depending on several factors, including the individual's immune system, the type of bacteria involved, and other underlying health conditions.

Prescription UTI antibiotics is the fastest and most effective way to cure a UTI. They usually begin working quickly to take care of uncomfortable symptoms. UTI antibiotics can completely get rid of a urinary tract infection in a few days, but you may start feeling better sooner than that. After your diagnosis, one of our board-licensed doctors can prescribe UTI antibiotics online for treatment of UTI if you qualify.

Typical antibiotic treatment courses are about one to two weeks. Even if you feel better after 3 or 4 days, continue and finish the whole course of antibiotics to ensure that the bacteria is completely eradicated. If not, the remaining bacteria may develop resistance to the antibiotics and the infection will become harder to treat if it returns.

UTI antibiotics can treat UTIs fast, and some people may feel symptom relief in a matter of hours. Typically, you should start to feel better within 48 hours of starting your treatment. If your symptoms get worse or do not improve within 48 hours, it may be likely that you are not suffering from a bacterial infection. You should talk to your prescribing doctor for follow up treatment.

Antibiotic treatment can resolve back pain from a UTI within 12 to 24 hours of beginning treatment. In the meantime, a heat pack can be applied to the perineum area, lower abdomen, or lower back to help relieve pain and spasms.

Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) may help reduce pain and inflammation. However, it's important to consult with a doctor before taking any, especially if you have underlying medical conditions or are taking other medications.

Minor back pain may accompany UTIs. Once antibiotics are started, you should feel better within 12 to 24 hours.

However, untreated UTIs can cause severe infection and complications. Constant, dull, or severe pain can signify a kidney infection. Unlike muscular pain, this pain will be persistent and unrelieved by any alleviating factors. UTI back pain will last until you begin antibiotic treatment for your UTI.

A UTI that has spread to the kidneys is a serious infection that will typically not go away on its own. It's extremely dangerous for an infection of this nature to go untreated.

If you are experiencing back pain from a UTI speak to one of our doctors immediately, as you'll likely need antibiotics.

While antibiotics are often prescribed as a UTI treatment, an uncomplicated UTI may go away on its own. However, it is often more challenging to get rid of a UTI without antibiotics.

Urinary tract infections can last a week, but often even longer without proper treatment. Left untreated, a UTI could spread to the kidney and cause serious consequences. This is why it is important to speak to a doctor to treat urinary tract infections as soon as possible.
