Background: Urinary tract infection (UTI) is one of the most common bacterial infections affecting women and may become recurrent or chronic, resulting in persistent urinary symptoms, discomfort, and impaired quality of life. Although conventional antimicrobial therapy remains the standard treatment, recurrent or chronic cases may benefit from supportive complementary approaches that help alleviate symptoms and improve overall well-being.Objective: To evaluate the effectiveness of a short-term naturopathy-based treatment regimen in reducing symptoms associated with chronic urinary tract infection in a young female patient.Methods: A single female patient diagnosed with chronic urinary tract infection underwent a 10-day naturopathy intervention. The treatment protocol consisted of daily hip baths with Triphala powder, application of a mud pack over the lower abdomen, and Triphala vaginal wash. Clinical outcomes were assessed by monitoring changes in urinary symptoms, including pain and itching, as well as urine appearance before and after the intervention.Results: At baseline, the patient experienced severe urinary discomfort characterized by pain, itching, and abnormal urine appearance. Progressive improvement in symptoms was observed during the treatment period. By the completion of the 10-day intervention, pain and itching had markedly reduced, and the urine returned to a normal straw color, suggesting clinical recovery. The patient also reported improved comfort during urination and an overall improvement in quality of life, with no adverse effects observed during the intervention.Conclusion: The findings of this case report suggest that a short-term naturopathy-based regimen incorporating Triphala hip bath, Triphala vaginal wash, and lower abdominal mud pack may serve as a beneficial supportive therapy for managing symptoms of chronic urinary tract infection. However, these findings are limited to a single case, and larger, well-designed controlled clinical studies are needed to establish the efficacy, safety, and generalizability of this therapeutic approach.
