How to do home care for female cystitis?

Female cystitis mostly occurs in women of childbearing age, so why does it happen? The explanation is as follows: the female urethra opening is close to the anus and is easily contaminated by feces. Coupled with internal body structure factors, the chance of infection is high. Therefore, urethral injury becomes an important cause of urinary tract infection in some women. In particular, unhygienic sexual life can more easily lead to the entry of germs. So how should women take care of cystitis?

1. Taboos in sexual life

The recurrence of chronic cystitis is closely related to sexual life, especially unclean sexual intercourse. Many rural women and newlyweds lack health knowledge and do not pay attention to the hygiene of their sexual organs and sexual life, which causes vaginal infections and spreads to the urethra, leading to long-term cystitis. The preventive measure is to pay attention to sexual hygiene. Both men and women should clean the genitals before sexual intercourse. If vaginal infection is found, 30 grams of Sophora flavescens can be boiled in water, or Liuyi Powder (talc, licorice) can be used to fumigate the perineum, or diluted with Chlorhexidine hydrochloride for a sitz bath.

Women should refrain from sexual intercourse during menstruation, the first three months and the last month of pregnancy, and one month after delivery because the uterine cavity changes significantly and there are many lacerations in the vagina. This is because women's body resistance decreases during this period, making them more susceptible to infection and inducing cystitis. Even in normal times, women with cystitis should appropriately reduce the frequency of sexual life.

2. Diet and lifestyle

After suffering from chronic cystitis, a correct and reasonable diet and lifestyle are very important for the stabilization and recovery of the disease. Patients should develop the habit of drinking more water, especially mineral water and magnetized water containing trace elements, which can more easily kill germs. Work and study within your ability and avoid overwork. Especially during menstruation, you should be more careful. Avoid excessive physical labor and strenuous exercise, do not do work and activities that involve water, do not take a bath, avoid cold and humid environments, keep warm, prevent cold, do not eat sour and cold food, and get enough rest to maintain your health. Otherwise, cystitis may relapse easily.

3. Choose a patent medicine

Since chronic cystitis is difficult to heal, appropriate Chinese patent medicine can be selected according to the principles of TCM diagnosis and treatment. For patients with poor appetite, they can choose Xiangsha Yangwei Pills, Shenling Baizhu Powder, Jianpi Pills, etc.; if the patient is prone to colds for a long time, they can choose Yuping Powder Oral Liquid, etc.

If the patient suffers from weak waist and knees, heel pain, bitter taste in the mouth and dry throat, hot hands and feet, chest heat, and dry stool, Qiju Dihuang Pills can be used; if the patient has tinnitus, Erlong Zuoci Pills can be used; if the patient is afraid of cold and has frequent urination at night, Jinkui Shenqi Pills and Wuzi Yanzong Pills can be used; if the patient has been ill for a long time but the symptoms are not obvious, Nubao, Yimucao Paste, Danggui Tablets, etc. can be used; if there are mild symptoms, Sanjin Tablets, Niuhuang Jiedu Tablets, Niuhuang Jiedu Pills, Dahuang Tablets, etc. can be used in combination, but they must be taken under the guidance of a doctor.

Girls are more likely to suffer from cystitis than boys. There is no doubt that this disease causes a lot of headaches for many women. Therefore, in this case, women should always pay attention to their living hygiene and pay attention to their physical health in order to stay away from this disease.
