The escalating instances of urological disorders are expected to put more pressure on healthcare infrastructures and underline the necessity for efficacious prevention and treatment tactics. For example, in November 2022, the Urology Care Foundation, Inc., a personal care company based in the US, reported that more than 8.1 million patients seek medical help for urinary tract infections annually.
