Houston doctor reveals what you should know about UTIs, how to treat them
SUMMARY: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect about half of women and 10% of men in the U.S., posing a serious health risk as they can lead to sepsis. Health reporter Haley Hernandez highlights that while antibiotics are the main treatment, it’s vital to get a urine test to identify the proper antibiotic, as misuse can cause bacterial resistance. Preventative methods include cranberry supplements, which have proven effective. A new vaccine, Euroimmun, is being reviewed to prevent recurring UTIs, though it’s not yet available. For women with frequent UTIs, further evaluation may be necessary to check for anatomical issues.
About half of women in the U.S. get urinary tract infections at some point in their life. About 10% of men can get them. A vaccine called Uromune is under review now to stop recurring urinary tract infections, which cause thousands of men and women to suffer with painful urination every year.
