ABSTRACT

Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most severe public health problem affecting both sexes but females are more susceptible due to the differences in urogenital and reproductive anatomy, physiology and lifestyle. It is also known that the bacteria causing infection can develop resistance to the existing antibiotics that have been prescribed, if the medication is used for a long time. These issues have led to a continuous exploration of different modes of treatment and alternate therapies. Herbs have a long history and proven to be very effective in preventing and treating urinary tract infections. This review gives a bird’s eye view on the updated information on urinary tract infections and the potential of some medicinal plants to be used in the management of UTI, including plants that have been approved for the treatment of urinary infections and promising, but less studied but with anti-uropathogenic activity.

Keywords: Herbal medicine, UTI, Phytochemicals, Plant extract, Plant extract.
