Article Synopsis
- - The study investigated the effects of individualized Chinese medicine on recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs) in 230 adult female patients, comparing it to a control group receiving antibiotics and a placebo.
- - Results showed that those treated with Chinese medicine had significantly lower UTI recurrence rates, improved syndrome scores, enhanced quality of life (measured by the SF-36), and higher levels of urine secretory immunoglobulin A (SIgA).
- - The conclusion suggests that individualized Chinese medicine is more effective than long-term antibiotic use for preventing rUTI recurrences, improving patient well-being, and reducing the risk of antibiotic resistance.
