    Uti
    I had sexual intercourse a week ago; shortly after I had frequent urination (uti). I have been drinking plenty of fluids; water and cranberry juice. A week into my uti; I'm starting to have lower back pain. It is severe, I don't have insurance to see a doctor. Is there anything I can do at home to cure this UTI?

    No. If it really is a UTI, there is no home cure. You NEED to see a doctor as this will only get worse and will not go away. If you don't get treatment a UTI can spread to the kidneys. If you go long enough, the infection can spread to the blood and it can kill you.

    I went to see a doctor, and received medication for my UTI. Thank you for your advice.
