Efficient and Cost-Effective Alternative Treatment for Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections and Interstitial Cystitis in Women: A Two-Case Report

الملخص EN

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most common bacterial infections affecting women.

UTIs are primarily caused by Escherichia coli, which increases the likelihood of a recurrent infection.

We encountered two cases of recurrent UTIs (rUTIs) with a positive E.

coli culture, not improving with antibiotics due to the development of antibiotic resistance.

An alternative therapeutic regimen based on parsley and garlic, L-arginine, probiotics, and cranberry tablets has been given.

This regimen showed a significant health improvement and symptoms relief without recurrence for more than 12 months.

In conclusion, the case supports the concept of using alternative medicine in treating rUTI and as a prophylaxis or in patients who had developed antibiotic resistance.
