Yes: An untreated UTI can lead to increasingly bothersome symptoms (urgency, frequency, pain, incontinence, and visible blood) or, potentially more serious, a kidney infection (pyelonephritis) with fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, flank pain and risk of sepsis requiring hospitalization and IV antibiotics. Best to get evaluated and treated if symptoms bothersome, persist, or worsen.
