UTIs can be cleared up with antibiotics, but there are also some things that you can do to try to prevent them from coming back.
Some simple tips include: drinking plenty of water, urinating after sex, wiping from front to back, and avoiding using harsh chemicals in the genital area.
If you do develop a UTI, it's important to see a doctor right away so that the infection doesn't get worse. Antibiotics will usually clear up the infection within a few days.
