Cystitis is a disease commonly encountered in our urological practice. Ten to twenty percent of women have experience with repeated urinary tract infections (UTI). The causes of the reinfections in women are genetic or acquired factors that increase the risk of colonization of the vagina and thus the risk of the ascendent UTI.

In men, reinfections are caused by structural or functional abnormalities of the urinary tract. We always search for possible causes that can change the formation or transport of urine in patients with repeated UTI. Abnormalities should be removed either surgically or pharmacologically. If neglected they fact, it usually leads to reinfections and reduce the success of our treatment (18).

The following article presents the possibilities of prevention of repeated UTIs.

Keywords: Key words: antimicrobial treatment, probiotics, immunotherapy, cranberry-lingonberry juice.
