Plantain is beneficial for the treatment of mild urinary tract infections, while severe urinary tract infections need to be treated with antibiotics. Plantain is sweet and cold in nature and has a clearing and diuretic effect, while mild urinary tract infections may be cured by urine flushing action, so plantain is useful for the treatment of mild urinary tract infections. For moderate to severe urinary tract infections, usually need antibiotics for treatment, because urinary tract infections are often caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Staphylococcus aureus and other infections, need to use sensitive antibiotics for treatment, and more use furantoin, fosfomycin, ofloxacin, amoxicillin, etc. for antibacterial treatment. For urinary tract infections induced by factors such as overcircumcision, perineal uncleanliness and unclean sex, the chances of urinary tract infections can also be reduced by removing the overcircumcision and enhancing personal hygiene. Plantain is cold, long-term use can cause gastrointestinal and electrolyte disorders, and is not suitable for people with kidney deficiency and sperm slippage and pregnant women, so patients need to use the medicine under the guidance of an herbalist.
