What to do about recurrent urinary tract infections: A review of evidence behind emerging therapies.
Background: Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) can be debilitating for patients and pose an increasing challenge in the primary care setting. An efficient approach enables timely access and effective care for patients. Recent research and pharmaceutical developments have provided new avenues for treating this common condition.
Objective: A narrative review was conducted to provide a targeted overview of contemporary management strategies in rUTIs to assist primary care physicians in managing patients with rUTIs efficiently and effectively.
Discussion: Recurrent urinary tract infections require investigation and risk factor identification. Appropriate patient education in the primary care setting, behavioural modifications and commencement of non-antibiotic treatment might reduce rUTI. Certain patients might require referral to a urologist for consideration of other treatment strategies and further investigation.
