Strategy of treatment for recurrent cystitis in women

Roughly half of women suffer at least one episode of acute cystitis during their life. In as many as one-third of them, the condition recurs.

This may be caused by a persistent infection due to an inflammatory focus or reinfection with another bacterial strain after a longer

time interval. In the case of reinfections, pharmacotherapy is usually sufficient, with long-term antibiotic prophylaxis being the standard

method of choice. Promising results have been obtained with the use of Uro-Vaxom. Also of importance are regimen measures. When

urinary infection is persistent, it is necessary to find and remove its cause.

Keywords: recurrent urinary tract infection, antimicrobial treatment, prophylaxis
