Are there any natural remedies to treat urinary tract infection in pregnancy?

When there is a urinary tract infection (UTI) in pregnancy, whether it is asymptomatic bacteriuria, cystitis or acute pyelonephritis, an effective antibiotic treatment should be prescribed, rather than trying to cure it with natural remedies.

The specialist will assess the best antibiotic and regimen for the woman, depending on the particular situation and always bearing in mind that the woman is pregnant.

Failure to treat a UTI properly could have consequences for both mother and baby.
