My doctor told me I have a bacterial infection in my bladder and that I should take antibiotics. Should I?

It depends on your individual situation, but generally speaking antibiotics are not recommended for treating urinary tract infections. Antibiotics can be effective at treating certain types of bacterial infections, but they do not work well against viruses or fungi. For most people, the best treatment is to use natural remedies like cranberry juice, probiotics, and dietary changes.
