What is cystitis?

   Since the bladder is continued through the urethra to the outside, this also can be inflamed (urethritis) and participate in the symptoms of the disease. Cystitis as a consequence of an asymptomatic renal infection can occur with some regularity

What are the symptoms of cystitis?

•  
•  
•  
•  
• Pain in the lower region of the abdomen.
• Smelly urine.

How is it diagnosed?

The treatment is based on the use of antibiotics suitable for urinary tract. Most cases are handled so ambulatory and rarely ever need to hospitalize the patient.  The aid measures are pain relievers of the urinary tract and a large intake of water to force the removal of large amounts of urine. There are schemes of treatments of 3, 7, 10 and 14 days depending on each particular case.  

• Take your medication exactly as prescribed to you.
• Drink abundant liquids, mostly water.  Alcohol should be avoided during treatment.
• Try emptying your bladder completely when you urinate.
• Please contact with your doctor if fever or pain in the middle of the back (pyelonephritis) region.
•  
•  
• Do not wear underwear or tight clothing.
• Not hold urine for long time
• Do not interrupt the antibiotic before promised to feel good to the second or third day of treatment

Recovery time

Symptoms of cystitis transferred within 24-48 hours of the initiated treatment (especially if uriunarias tract medications are used). The recovery is fast but you need to finish the treatment completely

What can you do so that does not happen again?

• Drink plenty of water during the day
• Try to empty your bladder completely when you urinate and urinate frequently: urinary retention encourages bacterial growth.
• Use cotton garments.  Avoid too-tight clothing and underwear.
•  
• Keep clean the genital area and evacuate when making his toilet from front to back.
• Any other disease keep well controlled. For example, if you have diabetes, keep controlled the amount of glucose in blood.
• Some patients have to take medication for months to avoid that this process will reappear: this is the therapy suppressive used in patients with infections to repetition.
