Antibiotics are the recommended treatment for urinary tract infection in traditional medicine. For people with recurrent infections, low doses of antibiotics can be prescribed for at least six months, which increases the risk of developing antibiotic-resistant strains.
In addition, antibiotics even kill the good microorganisms in your body, which leads to significant health problems.
In a study involving more than 300 women with a history of recurrent urinary tract infections, the researchers treated them by prescribing two grams of D-mannose, 50 grams of antibiotics, or no treatment for six months. D-mannose is a naturally occurring sugar closely related to glucose.
Only 15 percent of those taking D-mannose had recurrent UTIs, compared to 20 percent for the group taking those taking antibiotics (both groups had significantly lower rates than the group without treatment).
However, the prevalence of side effects was significantly lower also in the group treated with D-mannose than in the group treated with antibiotics.
It works in the treatment of acute urinary tract infections, for the prophylaxis of women prone to recurrent infections, and it is safe for both adults and children.
