Abstract

There is a substantial gap between the viewpoint of urologists and the rest of society regarding UTIs. Urologists spend little time and effort thinking about UTIs. In contrast, UTIs are a major issue for many women. There is substantial concern about "natural compounds" and probiotics that allow women to take charge of their health care. It is easy to understand this concern because UTIs are common, costly, and cause considerable morbidity.

摘要

在关于尿路感染的问题上，泌尿科医生的观点与社会其他群体之间存在很大差距。泌尿科医生在思考尿路感染方面花费的时间和精力很少。相比之下，尿路感染对许多女性来说是一个重大问题。人们对“天然化合物”和益生菌极为关注，这些可以让女性掌控自己的医疗保健。这种担忧很容易理解，因为尿路感染很常见、成本高昂且会导致相当高的发病率。
