Workup
(See Workup.) Successful emergent management includes selection of appropriate antimicrobial therapy with recommendations for follow-up care. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Treatment
Four of them succeeded to collect data on type, dosage and duration of treatment. Mostly, trimethoprim was the treatment of first choice, sometimes combined with sulfamethoxazol or sulfamethizol. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
CONCLUSION: We found that cystitis or urethritis may play an etiological role in the development of PCa in Taiwanese men, particularly in those with repeated medical visits for cystitis or urethritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Strategies to prevent recurrence Topical vaginal oestrogen therapy (especially in the presence of atrophic vaginitis) and alkalysing agents may provide symptomatic relief and are often used as preventive strategies. [nps.org.au]
Current prevention and treatment programs make UTIs more manageable, but many could be avoided with proper bladder programs. The majority of UTIs are preventable. Prevention of UTIs is the KEY to avoiding bladder management complications. [rnceus.com]
