Electroacupuncture for the Prevention of Recurrent Lower Urinary Tract Infection in Women

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate if electroacupuncture works to prevent recurrent lower urinary tract infections in female patients. It will also learn about the safety of electroacupuncture. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does electroacupuncture reduce the attacks of acute recurrent urinary tract infections in women? 2. What medical problems do participants have when taking electroacupuncture? Researchers will compare electroacupuncture to sham electroacupuncture to assess if electroacupuncture works to prevent recurrent lower urinary tract infections. Participants will: 1. Take electroacupuncture or sham electroacupuncture for 30 minutes per session over a 6-month period. During the first month, treatment was administered 3 times weekly (once every other day); the second month, 2 times weekly (once every 2-3 days); and the 3-6 month, once monthly. 2. Visit the hospital at the end of the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th months for follow-up evaluations. 3. Keep a diary of their symptoms and the number of times they use an antibiotic.
