A member asked:
Can a person be hospitalized for a uti?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not often: An uncomplicated UTI is typically treated with antibiotics as an outpatient. If the infection is severe, has failed outpatient treatment or has spread to the kidneys, then inpatient treatment is sometimes necessary.
