Can UTI Be Managed By Consuming Plenty Of Water?

Hello, I have been flushing out a uti, self diagnosed as I have had many, and I haven't been to a doctor as I just got insurance and do not have an appointment till may 17 unfortunately, but my bladder hurts a lot now, and it seems like the uti has mostly gone away if not all the way already.. I know I need to g to urgent care, but I hate going to them and well, I know it's in my head I work myself up about going to any doctors but the fact is I'm scared shitless and idk what to do, I guess I ask, can I keep flushing, meaning drinking a ton, or shud I just go.. Stupid question cuz I'm sure ur just gunna say uh yeah def go....but I have a pcp appointment Friday so a cpl days, can I wait to ask her? Or shud I try to go tmrw. Thanks guys.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

As per your history, As you have severe pain, so its better to consult with urologist. Drink lot of fluids as it will help you. Along with that do urine routine, complete blood count, ultrasound abdomen and pelvis after consultation. You may require antibiotics and tab. urispas after consultation. Take care.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Regards,
Dr. Shyam B. Kale
