Custitis is the inflammation of the bladder, but this term is also often used to designate a number of infectious diseases and irritations of the genitourinary system. The first signs of cystitis - burning in the process of urination and frequent urge to urination.
Development of cystitis
The most common pathogen cystitis - intestinal bacteria, in particular, intestinal wand. In women, acute cystitis occurs much more often than in men, which is explained by the small length of the urethra (tube, according to which urine comes from the bladder). In normal condition, the urethra remains sterile (in other words, there are no bacteria or other microorganisms). Cystitis at different times of life sick from 20 - 40% of the female population of the planet.
However, the hitting of bacteria in the bladder is not always accompanied by the appearance of symptoms. It has been proven that bladder disorders depend on endocrine, neareegetative and psychegetative influences. If urination does not complete the urinary bubble, urine hold occurs. Even one drop of urine remaining in the bladder may contain bacteria. Some inflammatory diseases (vulvovaginites, adnexites, endometritis in women, prostatites, vesiculites - in men) increase the sensitivity of the urogenital system to infections.
Rules of personal hygiene
In purely anatomical reasons (the smaller length of the urethra), women are custodized more often than men, so they should be particularly thoroughly abide by personal hygiene. Women and girls must be watched after the toilet towards the direction from the vagina to the anus, and not the opposite to avoid entering fecal bacteria in the urethra.
It is very important to drink a sufficient amount of fluid to wash the bladder well.
In the process of urination, the bladder must be completely empty. Read in the toilet - a very bad habit of which you need to get rid of.
When reading, we tend to lean forward, and for normal urination you need to deviate back, for example, leaning against the wall. This posture is more convenient for urination than the most familiar direct posture for us.
Prevent cystitis also helps wearing warm underwear and tights or stockings.
To prevent cystitis, it is recommended to drink a glass of cranberry juice daily or take cranberries in capsules. Do not doubt - this is a simple and natural agent helped very many patients with cystitis. It is believed that cranberry juice prevents «adhesion» bacteria to the walls of the bladder, thus preventing the infection.
Urination immediately after the sexual act also helps to withdraw most bacteria accumulated in the urethra.
Try to go to the toilet at least every three hours. Women who are accustomed to abstain from urination and «tolerate», more susceptible to infections of the urogenital system.
Chronic cystitis, which is inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, can develop as a result of urolithiasis, inflammatory diseases of the kidneys, bladder tumors. However, men cystitis are often provoked by such diseases that are either solely or predominantly male (andraological), primarily the prostate adenoma and urethra stricture.
Symptomatics of the disease includes rapid urination to urination and pain during the emptying of the bladder.
Professional diagnosis of chronic cystitis relies on such a type of urological examination as cytoscopy, allowing to establish the shape and cause of cystitis and thus choose the optimal treatment.
At home, it is permissible to conduct medical care courses appointed by the doctor using anti-inflammatory and antibacterial drugs. It is also advisable if there are no contraindications, go for sanatorium treatment to resorts with mineral waters - in Zheleznovodsk or Essentuki.
Inflammatory phenomena pass slowly, but the urges are cut after 1-2 weeks. In general, the prognosis is favorable.
Tools of treating cystitis
Currently, there are a number of funds that allow you to successfully heal cystitis. However, such drugs are contraindicated in pregnant women, patients who appear vomiting, as well as in the presence of blood in the urine. In these cases, you should consult a doctor. As a rule, one course of treatment is enough to get rid of this problem, however, if symptoms do not disappear and after taking drugs, you should consult a doctor that cystitis did not switch to a chronic form.
Diagnosing cystitis
The most important analysis that allows you to diagnose cystitis - chemical express test with an impregnated substrate. This analysis is performed very quickly: urine analysis on sowing is sent to the laboratory, where they grow and investigate the bacteria contained in it. Sample must be fresh. It is also important that, when passing urine for analysis, the woman spreads sex lips to the urine so that the bacteria that are in the vagina and on the skin. When the inflammatory process is detected, bacteria identify and determine the content in the urine of leukocytes and red blood cells.
In the case of multiple inexplicable urinary system infections, it is necessary to undergo a complete comprehensive examination, in particular, to make an ultrasound or x-ray of the urogenital system and cystoscopy (urinary bubble examination).
Prevent chronic cystitis
Some people, especially women, are predisposed to the chronic cable. To avoid this, you need to follow health. Women who are experiencing more than two acute seizures of cystitis every year must take antibiotics for disease prevention. However, the effectiveness of long-term intake of antibiotics (over the year and more) has not yet been accurately established.
Chronic cystitis - surgical treatment
Chronic cystitis (bladder inflammation) - a fairly common female disease. Symptoms of frequent urination, painfulness, a small increase in temperature and general ailment, alas, awarded almost every woman. Is that in the earliest youth, before the start of sexual life, the stories about cystitis are perceived as another «horror stories», about disbelief which girls soon oh how do you have to regret...
Reasons at cystitis a lot. These are the anatomical features of female genital organs - alas, but a short urethra cannot serve as a serious obstacle for microbes, like a man's urethra. These are cultural features - the discovered from the bottom does not contribute to the good thermal insulation of the pelvic organs. This is a problem with regular urination, especially in urban environments and in winter, when the bladder is overwhelmed and becomes especially susceptible to infection.
But one of the very frequent reasons, especially the disturbing women with regular sex life, is the wrong arrangement of the outer opening of the urethra. If the urethra opens too close to the vagina, then with each sexual act of its hole «retracts» a gender member of a man inside the vagina, while trauming and revealing. In addition to painfulness for a woman, such a state of affairs provides excellent conditions for penetrating bacteria into the bladder - and this is the beginning of cystitis.
Traditional treatment of cystitis is a reception of tablets (antibiotics or other antibacterial drugs), drink bravery of various herbs, general fastening techniques like the use of vitamin additives and physical exertion. They are undoubtedly helping if cystitis originated from supercooling or stagnation of urine. But if the cause of cystitis is in too close friendship of the urethra with a vagina, then where is it better to resort to radical treatment.
And the treatment is in a small operation, perfectly carrying a patient. During the surgery surgery, it simply moves the outer hole of the urethra from the vagina to the place where it should be normal, and fixes it there with seams. Everything passes under full anesthesia, and the seams will be removed after a few days. Cases of complications in this operation are extremely rare, and it is also unknown for the lack of such.
After surgery, the urethra will continue to be injured during the intercourse. The main cause of cystitis will be eliminated, and it is possible that the woman will continue at all will forget what inflammation of the bladder and how it proceeds.
