Question

How long does it take to heal a partially treated uti?

Yes, 3 days: Often effective, not usually the first choice. Length of treatment depends on the nature of the problem. Simple cystitis is treated for 1 to 3 days.

Answer 10

UTI and tampons: Urinary tract infections (UTI) need to be treated, but tampons if appropriately used are not going to interfere with the treatment.
