What should I do if I think I have a UTI? See a doctor as soon as possible to confirm the diagnosis and get treatment. Doctors usually use a quick and painless (unless it hurts to pee!) urinalysis to diagnose a urinary tract infection.
Other procedures such as an ultrasound or an exam with a cystoscope (a small tube with lenses inserted through the urethra) may be used to determine other types of UTIs. Though home remedies sometimes work for to get rid of the infection, UTIs generally require antibiotics to clear up.
