Infection of urinary tract is one of the most prevalent bacterial infections among women. According to statistics, almost half of women have experienced infection of urinary tract at least once in their lifetime. Many of such women also develop recurrent infections as well. In fact, bladder infection (cystic) is responsible for 95% urinary infections with clinical symptoms. The factor, which causes bladder infection is E.Coli Bacterium and in 5-15% bacterial cases, the said bacterium is “Staphlococcus Saprophyticus”.
