Abstract in brief

  • This article reviews recent research on nonantibiotic treatments for urinary tract infections (UTIs) and cystitis, focusing on options like cranberry, probiotics, NSAIDs, D-mannose, herbal remedies, and other alternative therapies.
  • Despite ongoing research, there is currently no strong scientific evidence to fully replace antibiotics with these nonantibiotic options because of a lack of high-quality clinical trials.
  • The main goal of these alternative therapies is to manage symptoms and prevent recurrent UTIs, especially given the rise of antibiotic resistance, but more rigorous studies are needed to confirm their effectiveness.]
