Audio: Cranberry and Other Self Treatment Options For Urinary Tract Infection, Myth or Science?
Our UroNurse experts delve into the discussion on cranberries and other self-treatment options for urinary tract infections (UTIs), addressing whether they are myth or science. Cranberries, often touted for their UTI-preventive properties, contain compounds that may inhibit bacterial adhesion to the urinary tract. However, clinical evidence supporting their effectiveness is inconclusive. Similarly, home remedies like increased water intake, vitamin C, and probiotics lack strong scientific validation for treating UTIs. Our experts will present research on these methods and discuss best practices for managing UTIs effectively.
