Usually, UTI treatment is done by antibiotics, but the problem of bacterium resistance and sensitivity should always be kept in mind. The recent trends in herbal medicine open new insight into cranberry (Cornus mas) as a promising anti-infection and anti-cancer substance. It has shown anti-infection properties in UTIs, especially for thoroughly treating recurrent urinary tract infections. However, it can increase the risk of kidney stones and interaction with warfarin.   UR - http://www.transresurology.com/article_117640.html L1 - http://www.transresurology.com/article_117640_8f88331a907dd37c9d6e4c8e17d69ce0.pdf ER -
