A review on traditional natural compounds and conventional methods for the treatment of UTI

Abstract

The intensity of the urinary tract infection (UTI), a recurrent infection that is common in coastal locations and that affects people of different ages, varies. One of the main bacteria that causes UTI is Escherichia coli. The objective of the present study is to regulate the prevalence of UTI and to evaluate the effectiveness of recent developments in alternative medicine. Quinolones and cephalosporin are well-known treatments for UTIs. The only costly, non-Indian plant source medicine is cranberry extract. The growth of opportunistic Uropathogens is facilitated by pH change in urethra that occur throughout puberty and menopause in females. Additionally adding to the defence is innate immunity. Although innate immunity can support the body's resistance, a recent study found that infection rates differ among people depending on their age, immunity, and lifestyle. The microorganisms that cause UTI are becoming more and more medication resistant. Understanding the value of enhancing innate immunity and being aware of the most effective UTI treatment plan are both necessary. Alternative, innovative methods to treatment have so raised some hope. Homeopathic, Ayurvedic, Unani, and other herbal-based medications were among the therapeutic options. Nanoparticles may play new, unproven roles in the fight against UTIs in the future. Nanotechnology techniques based on medicinal plants have produced encouraging results. Therefore, there needs to be ongoing study into herbal treatments for UTIs, like Ayurvedic Biology.
