The Urologist is Director of the continence center southwest. “In uncomplicated urinary tract infections has been proven, for example, a therapy with Ibuprofen. It has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving effect.“
An Alternative to antibiotics is especially for those patients is important, in which the annoying and painful urinary tract infections always come back. For at least every fourth woman, a cystitis is not a single event.

A bladder infection frequently returns again, should be identified in the shutter by means of a laboratory examination of the urine, to begin with, where appropriate, targeted therapy.

Who drink also aware of a lot, has a good chance to flush the bacteria from the bladder before they can reproduce. The Urologist Schultz-Lampel finds special bubbles or Nierentees based on herbs: “you disinfect the urine that collects in the bladder.”
Scientific evidence, were it not for this, however, as Guido Schmiemann was in a “world”Interview. The General practitioners had been involved in the current treatment guidelines for urinary tract infections.
