One encouraging treatment approach may be individualized homeopathy. Case Reports: Here, four female cases with recurrent urinary tract infections are reported. They were treated successfully with the homeopathic strategy after several conventional approaches revealed no improvement. The follow-up period was a minimum of 3 years and the frequency of episodes with urinary tract infection as well as of antibiotic treatment was documented. Additionally, the patients were asked to assess the treatment outcome retrospectively in a validated questionnaire. Results: The treatment resulted in a reduction of urinary tract infections and the need for antibiotics from monthly to less than 3 times a year. Three of the four women had no cystitis and related intake of antibiotics for more than 1.5 years. A relapse of symptoms could be treated efficiently with a repetition of the homeopathic remedy. All subjective outcome assessments resulted positive. Conclusion: This case series suggests a possible benefit of individualized homeopathic treatment for female patients with recurrent urinary tract infections. Larger observational studies and controlled investigations are warranted.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000504317","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,16]],"date-time":"2020-01-16T22:00:32Z","timestamp":1579212032000},"page":"193-199","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Individualized Homeopathic Treatment in Women with Recurrent Cystitis: A Retrospective Case Series"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"27","author":[{"given":"Katharina","family":"Gaertner","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Klaus","family":"von\u00a0Ammon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Martin","family":"Frei-Erb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,1,16]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctcp.2014.03.003"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2011.01.028"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0002-9343(02)01055-0"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000049840"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/00365549009023118"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.urology.2007.12.091"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ejogrb.2016.10.018"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-642-20638-2_10"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2015.12.019"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1472-6963-7-139"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1021\/jm101011y"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2015.06.004"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000148825"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1186\/1745-6215-11-80"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ctim.2016.03.013"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1159\/000487245"}],"container-title":["Complementary Medicine Research"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/cmr\/article-pdf\/27\/3\/193\/3897514\/000504317.pdf","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/cmr\/article-pdf\/27\/3\/193\/3897514\/000504317.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,23]],"date-time":"2025-04-23T16:09:40Z","timestamp":1745424580000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000504317"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020]]},"references-count":16,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,22]]},"published-print":{"date-parts":[[2020,6,30]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000504317","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{"is-supplemented-by":[{"id-type":"doi","id":"10.6084\/m9.figshare.11627403","asserted-by":"subject"}]},"ISSN":["2504-2092","2504-2106"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2504-2092","type":"print"},{"value":"2504-2106","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020]]}}}
