Cystitis - a disease of a woman's face: causes, home treatment

This disease starts suddenly and quickly, after 2 hours the cramps are unbearable and you do not have to go to the toilet. One condition that every woman has at least once in her life is an inflammation of the bladder. How and how to treat cystitis at home in women, I will show you in this article.

Cause of infection

The cause of cystitis is E. coli that has penetrated the bladder from the rectum. Flat what eats the bladder wall and causes aches, pains when urinating and frequent trips to the toilet. And because the urethra in women is shorter and wider than the male, women suffer from cystitis more often.

Provocative factors

Provocative factors

A strong organism easily repels an attack, but if the defense is weakened, then the development of cystitis is facilitated by:

  • Hypothermia. It is often our fault, coming to light in the cold with short fur coats and jackets.
  • Stress.
  • Overload.
  • Hormonal disorders (pregnancy, diabetes).
  • Gynecological diseases.
  • Failure to follow the rules of personal hygiene (including holding the noose) and frequent change of sexual partners.
  • Tight pants or sitting in one place for a long time. This leads to blood stagnation in the pelvic area.
  • Bladder overload and inability to empty it in time. This leads to the accumulation of bacteria, their multiplication and therefore to inflammation.
  • Drink some juice. When urine production decreases, bacteria accumulate.

All of these factors lead to the development of infection.

Home treatment

If the first signs appear, you should definitely see a doctor.

But let's say today is Friday evening and you will only get to the doctor on Monday.

Home treatment
  1. First, it is recommended that you drink plenty of fluids in the first 24 hours to clear the bladder infection. Herbalists advise decoction of medicinal plants with diuretic effect: cranberry, birch leaves, kidney tea, ponytail, half-floor, herb root and dandelion, fennel seeds.
  2. The second savior will be cranberry juice (lingonberry) or fruit drink (1-2 glasses). The substances it contains reduce the ability of E. coli to attach to the bladder wall and cause inflammation.
  3. Third, it is recommended to place a warm pillow on the lower abdomen or take a hot bath with chamomile decoction. This can only be done if there is no blood in the urine because heat can increase bleeding.

Traditional methods of treatment

I offer some effective recipes for alternative treatment methods:

  • In case of cystitis, apply compressed onion pulp to the lower abdomen. Incubate for 1-2 hours.
  • Mixtures of honey and black juice are rare in equal amounts. The mixture should be taken 1 tbsp 3 times a day 30 minutes after a meal for up to 4 weeks.
  • A decoction of chamomile is used for a sitz bath. Add 4 tablespoons of flowers to a bucket of boiling water. Take three baths a day for 15 minutes. This will ease your condition.
  • At high temperatures, you can take a warm bath (32 ° - 35 ° C), then put it to bed. Put boiled and grated potatoes in the stomach. Leave until completely cooled.

The next challenge is to fight the pathogen.

What to buy at the pharmacy for cystitis

There is no correct answer to this question. There is no one-size-fits-all advice that is right for you. Treatment should only be prescribed by a physician.

Let's get it right.

The antibiotic phosphomycin is an emergency medicine. Kills bacteria in a single dose. Place on an empty stomach by dissolving the powder (3 grams) in ½ glass of water, after you have emptied the bladder. In more severe cases, another dose may be taken after 24 hours.

Attention! This is a prescription medicine. Therefore, if you often suffer from this disease, then stock up on prescription and buy this medicine in advance.

For optimal follow-up care and to reduce the risk of disease, phytopreparations are reused, which can be purchased without a prescription.

They reduce pain, normalize urination and speed up healing.

There are dietary supplements that contain cranberry and cranberry extracts.

But you have to remember that they are used as supplements and can not be used to treat cystitis.

Attention! A day later, if the symptoms persist, the urine has changed color, blood appears, you should go to the doctor and start full treatment! ! !

Mos ha

Eliminate canned, salty, spicy, fatty foods from your diet.

Reduce your coffee and alcohol intake.

Dairy foods, fruits and vegetables are foods that will help cure this nasty disease.
