[Experience in the use of herbal preparations for the complex treatment of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infections in pregnant women].

INTRODUCTION: During pregnancy, therapeutic options which can be used to treat and prevent acute lower urinary tract infections are significantly limited. In this regard, new opportunities to increase time to relapse of urinary tract infections are urgently required. AIM: To evaluate the results of the use of the dietary supplements "Cystenium II" in pregnant women for the complex treatment of acute cystitis and asymptomatic bacteriuria. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The analysis of complex therapy of uncomplicated lower urinary tract infection with the use of dietary supplements "Cystenium II" in 42 pregnant women (mean age 24.5+/-4.3 years), divided into two groups depending on the presence of symptoms of the cystitis. RESULTS: Data on the clinical and microbiological cure and the absence of side effects were obtained. CONCLUSIONS: The use of dietary supplements "Cystenium II" is advisable, both in the complex antimicrobial therapy of acute cystitis, exacerbation of recurrent cystitis or asymptomatic bacteriuria in pregnant women, as well as for the prevention of recurrence of cystitis after the clinical cure.
