Abstract :
Recurrent urinary tract infections (rUTIs)
represent more than a medical challenge; they are a
constant burden that significantly affects the quality of life
of millions of women. These infections disrupt daily
activities, generate emotional distress, and impose a
considerable economic impact. This review examines how
rUTIs have evolved over the past decade, focusing on the
rise of antimicrobial resistance and the integration of
innovative therapies such as probiotics and vaccines. The
findings emphasize the importance of preventive strategies
that incorporate microbiome-based knowledge and
advanced diagnostic tools.
Keywords :
Recurrent UTI, Antimicrobial Resistance, Vaginal Microbiome, Personalized Medicine, Probiotics.
