摘要

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are a significant global health concern, affecting millions worldwide, with particular prevalence among specific vulnerable populations. Women of sexually active age, post-menopausal women, pregnant women, individuals with diabetes, catheterized patients, childs and older indivisuals face heightened risk due to various physiological, hormonal, and anatomical factors. While anatomical abnormalities and behavioral factors contribute to UTI susceptibility, the growing challenge of antibiotic resistance has necessitated exploration of alternative treatment approaches. Non-antibiotic interventions, including probiotics, cranberry products, and natural remedies, are gaining attention for their potential role in UTI prevention and management. Recent studies suggest the efficacy of probiotics and plant extracts in promoting urinary tract health and preventing bacterial colonization. Additionally, research highlights the importance of dietary factors, such as vitamin D and probiotic intake, in reducing UTI susceptibility. This review examines the emerging shift toward non-drug strategies, offering a more comprehensive approach to UTI management while addressing the pressing concern of antibiotic resistance.
