Abstract:
:Urinary tract infections are highly prevalent among women and when they are recurrent they can lead to patient discomfort and high healthcare costs, and they represent one of the most frequent causes of antibiotic consumption. There are several options to prevent RUTI which include both antibiotic treatment (continuous or postcoital antibiotic prophylaxis) and non-antibiotic measures (hygienic measures, vitamin D, blueberries, D-mannose, probiotics, oestrogens, vaccines, intravesical instillations), but with different levels of evidence, sometimes of poor quality, and therefore new randomized and comparative studies are needed to choose the best strategy.
