Abstract

Abstract : (Abstracted from Female Pelvic Med Reconstr Surg 2022;28:e127–e132) With 50% to 70% of women reporting a urinary tract infection (UTI) at some point in their lives, the diagnosis and treatment of this condition are common. Recurrent UTI occurs in approximately 20% to 30% of women, and estimated annual total health care costs of UTIs reside around $2.3 billion.
