| Urinary tract infection was a common clinical disease. Elderly people, patients who suffer from diabetes mellitus, immunocompromised people, people who had obstructive or abnormal urinary tract, or people whose urinary tracts were mechanically used were easy to infect with this disease. Recurrence of this disease can damage patients’ kidneys function. Moreover, for those who received long-term antibiotics, it is possible to get dysbacteriosis and organ damage. In the treatment of recurrent urinary tract infection, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) had some advantages such as easing patients’ symptoms, improving their quality of life, reducing recurrent times and rate, shortening the course of treatment, reducing the dosage of antibiotics, avoiding disease recurrence, and lowering the risk of organ damage. TCM treatment should be applied based on the clear etiology and pathogenesis, and the different stages of the disease should be treated with syndrome differentiation. In addition, the follow-up treatment and routine nursing should be valued. |
