Revolutionary Minimally Invasive Treatment for Recurrent UTIs: A Non-Antibiotic Solution
Originally Published 2 years ago — by UPI News
A new study has found that electrofulguration, a minimally invasive procedure that eliminates inflamed and infected bladder tissue, may offer relief for older women suffering from recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs). The procedure was found to be effective for a significant number of women, reducing the frequency of UTIs and decreasing the need for continuous antibiotic use. Electrofulguration works by targeting the surface of the bladder where bacteria attach and form biofilms. The treatment shows promise as an alternative to long-term antibiotic use, which can lead to antibiotic resistance and other complications. However, further research is needed to determine its effectiveness compared to standard care options.
