Treatments for Urinary Tract Infections

It requires continued treatment for a period of time after the symptoms disappear in order to be completely cured. Otherwise, it will easily recur. Chronic urinary tract infection generally requires treatment for 4-8 weeks, acute pyelonephritis requires treatment for 2-4 weeks, and patients with acute cystitis require treatment for three days. Medication must be taken continuously during the treatment cycle and cannot be stopped. Medication can only be stopped after the urine analysis is completely negative in the hospital. This can ensure complete cure, rather than just the elimination of symptoms.
