Local Effects of Propolis Extract in Treating Urinary Tract Infections in Women

Abstract: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are common bacterial infections that can affect both men and women, but are more prevalent in women due to the anatomy of the female urinary tract. UTIs can cause discomfort, pain, and sometimes serious complications if left untreated. There are several treatment options for UTIs, including antibiotics, which are the most common treatment, as well as herbal remedies, such as propolis extract. Propolis extract, also known as bee glue, is a natural resinous substance collected by honeybees from various plants and trees. It has been shown to have antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory properties, making it a potentially effective treatment for UTIs. This article aims to provide an overview of the use of propolis extract in treating UTIs in women. It will discuss the chemical composition of propolis extract, the process of producing it, and the local application of propolis extract for treating UTIs. The article will also compare the efficacy of propolis extract to other conventional and herbal treatments for UTIs and evaluate its potential side effects.
