Effectiveness of Polyoxidonium in the treatment of chronic lower urinary tract infections in Women

Abstract

Complicated and uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection (LUTI) in women is the leading reason for visiting a urologist. Debilitating dysuric symptoms of acute and chronic lower urinary tract infection significantly reduce the quality of life of these patients and very often cause dyspareunia and neurosis-like conditions. They often deprive women of a full night's sleep, normal working capacity during the day and their usual way of life in general. In some patients, chronic LUTI in the course of a long course is complicated by symptoms of incontinence, and ascending pyelonephritis and other complications leading to disability also occur. About 40% of women in the North Caucasus Federal District note at least one episode of acute LUTI - cystitis in their medical history. According to statistics, up to 35 million cases of acute LUTI are registered annually . Most often, they occur in women in the age groups of 18-38 years and 65 years and older. This is explained by the intensity of sexual life and the implementation of the reproductive function of patients in the first group and a decrease in the level of estrogens and, accordingly, the general and local immunity of patients in the second group.
