About this trial
Investigate the effect of dietary supplements/probiotic ASTARTE™ ( L. crispatus, L. rhamnosus, L. jensenii, L. gasseri) on the microbiome composition in the intestine and vagina and thereby a reduction of risk factors for the development of rUTI during 6 months of intervention in women aged 18-40 years. This is measured by the incidence of symptomatic UTI.

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Reduction of UTI cases
Number of symptomatic urinary tract infection cases during the intervention compared to the number of UTI cases before the intervention (\> 2 UTIs per year). Measured from a urine sample.
Secondary outcomes
Number of UTI after intervention
Number of symptomatic urinary tract infection cases during the intervention compared to the number of UTI cases after the intervention. Measured from a urine sample.
UTI symptoms
Change in UTI symptoms from the baseline measure by the ICIQ-FLUTS questionnaire every 2d months. We measure score values: 0-16 filling symptoms subscale, 0-12 voiding symptoms subscale, 0-20 incontinence symptoms subscale
Change of vaginal microbiome
Change in vaginal microbiome from the baseline measure by Microbiome genetic test. Measure from a feacal sample every 2d month in the intervention period.
Change of gut microbiome
Change in gut microbiome from the baseline measure by Microbiome genetic test. Measure from a fecal sample every 2d month in the intervention period.
