Proven content

Cystitis manifests itself in a very unpleasant way. It is accompanied by increased temperature, muscle pain and malaise. Sometimes other ailments also join us, forcing us to constantly run to the toilet. Is it still a typical infection or is it cystitis?

What is cystitis?

Cystitis is inflammation caused by bacteria and microbes. People suffering from this condition have an increased need to urinate due to constant fluid intake. During cystitis, most sufferers drink a large amount of various warming drinks. Herbs are sometimes also diuretic.

While drinking a lot of fluids during cystitis requires a person to urinate more often, this does not mean they should limit their drinks. On the contrary, you need to hydrate your body when treating cystitis. If the disease is not accompanied by urinary or kidney problems, it should not be alarming.

Cystitis usually occurs through the urethra. Bacteria spread more easily into the bladder in women. This is due to the proximity of the mouth of the urethra to the anus and vagina. Many women may suffer from this ailment many times during their life. The urinary tract of a healthy person is sterile and does not contain any germs or microbes.

Prophylactically and as support for treatment, it is worth using Ecological Cranberry Juice, which you can buy at Medonet Market. It is available in packs of 270 ml or 3 liters. You can also choose capsules formulations such as Cranberry Viridian Extract.

What are the causes of cystitis?

In most cases of infection, it is caused by E. coli (Escherichia coli). The bacteria is found naturally in the body and is also present in the stool. Its presence in the digestive tract does not pose a threat, but when it enters the bladder and adheres to its walls, it will cause cystitis. If the patient starts treatment too late, bacteria can spread to the kidneys.

Coliform (Escherichia coli) can enter the urinary tract, e.g. through the urethra. It is enough for a person to use a contaminated towel or to improperly carry out hygiene activities. Cystitis can be caused by sitting on cold stones, walls, etc. Moreover, sitting on the beach in a wet swimsuit can also be the cause.

In some cases, the cause of cystitis is casual sexual intercourse without the use of a condom. It is easier for bacteria to enter the urethra during intercourse. Sometimes, during sex, the mucosa of the urethra is rubbed, which also promotes the reproduction of germs. The development of bacteria is also favored by sweating and overheating of the intimate areas.

The use of scented bath products can cause inflammation, in addition to infection with colonic bacilli. Intimate deodorants in particular pose a threat. In some women, cystitis is caused by vaginal contraceptives and tampons.

For the bladder and urinary tract – you can buy herbal and fruit tea at Medonet Market. Its regular use will improve the condition of the urinary tract.

Symptoms of cystitis in adults

Women usually suffer from cystitis because, unlike men, their urethra is five times shorter, so germs can penetrate the bladder faster. One of the main symptoms of the disease is frequent, sometimes even constant urge to urinate. It is accompanied by sharp pain and burning during micturition. In the acute stages of cystitis, the patient passes a small amount of urine.

Sometimes the only symptom of cystitis is bacteriuria, characterized by the presence of bacteria in the urinary tract. The patient’s urine is then dark in color and has a specific smell. A sick person may experience lower back pain and abdominal pain. It is often accompanied by low-grade fever and fever.

To find out if you have urinary problems, do the Urinary Tract Infection Home Test for Children and Adults. You can buy this study safely and conveniently on Medonet Market.

Cystitis in a child

Cystitis in a child has different symptoms than in an adult. It is one of the most common bacterial infections. It can be problematic to recognize, especially in the youngest. Unlike adults, boys are more likely to get cystitis. However, among older children, more girls were diagnosed with the disease.

The cause of the disease in a child is also the mentioned Escherichia coli bacterium. Factors contributing to the occurrence of infection may be, for example, a defect in the urinary system or the presence of urinary tract infection in other family members. Nevertheless, the disease may result in neglect of personal hygiene.

A symptom of cystitis in a child is pain and burning sensation accompanying urination. In children, as in adults, haematuria and purulent discharge from the urethra may appear. Other symptoms of cystitis in children are abdominal pain and small amounts of urine.

Cystitis – consequences and therapy

The disease is not dangerous if it is diagnosed and treated early. However, failure to take appropriate measures can lead to chronic disease and serious complications, including nephritis. After noticing the first symptoms of the disease, you should immediately see a doctor. A sick bladder can be treated both at home and with antibiotics or sulfonamides with a wide range of effects.

Treatment of cystitis with antibiotics takes 7 to 10 days. Although the patient will feel relieved a few hours after taking the first dose, it is inadvisable to stop the treatment. Otherwise, the bacteria will become resistant to the antibiotic. The consequence will be a relapse of the disease with doubled strength. Even after the disease symptoms have disappeared, several days after starting the treatment, it will be advisable to perform urinalysis again.

A proven remedy for cystitis is cranberry extract. Children are most often treated with it. The extract is available without a prescription.

Bladder colds – prevention
