Treatment of cystitis in women

We all know that women have a menstrual cycle every month, which can easily lead to the occurrence of diseases. Female cystitis is a common urinary system disease, which seriously affects women's normal life. Sometimes frequent urination and urgency may lead to inability to work and live normally. So can female cystitis be effectively treated? Let us learn about the treatment methods of female cystitis.

Treatment of cystitis in women:

First of all, you need to rest in bed, drink plenty of water, avoid irritating foods, and hot water sitz baths can improve blood circulation in the perineum and relieve symptoms. Alkaline drugs such as sodium bicarbonate or potassium citrate can reduce urine acidity and relieve bladder spasms. Flavonoids (Urinary Ling) can relieve spasms and reduce urinary tract irritation symptoms.

The specific medication method is: sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) 2.0g, trimethoprim (TMP) 0.4g, sodium bicarbonate 1.0g, taken once. Or 5 tablets of co-trimoxazole, or 3.0g of amoxicillin, or 400mg of trimethoprim taken all at once. In order to completely sterilize, some authors believe that the routine treatment course is still appropriate to be 3 days. 2 tablets of compound sulfamethoxazole plus 1.0g of sodium bicarbonate, twice a day. Or amoxicillin 0.5g, 4 times a day. Ofloxacin 0.2g, twice a day. All taken for 3 consecutive days have a cure rate for cystitis similar to the traditional 14-day treatment, with fewer side effects. Its indications and contraindications are the same as those for single-course therapy. As for lower urinary tract infections in the elderly, Mccne believes that regardless of whether the infection is symptomatic or asymptomatic, the elderly should adopt a 5-7 day treatment course, because the elderly often have abnormal bladder function, incomplete bladder outlet obstruction, and atrophy of the vaginal and urethral mucosa, which makes treatment more difficult.

Single-dose therapy and 3-day therapy avoid unnecessary long-term medication that may lead to an increase in drug-resistant bacteria and side effects, but measures to prevent recurrence must be strengthened. If the symptoms do not disappear, pus cells in the urine continue to exist, and the bacterial culture is still positive, bacterial resistance or the presence of infection factors should be considered. It is necessary to adjust the more suitable antibacterial drugs in time and extend the application time in order to achieve the goal of early cure. For chronic cystitis that cannot be cured for a long time or recurs repeatedly, a detailed and comprehensive urinary system examination should be conducted to eliminate obstructive factors, control the primary lesions, and keep the urinary tract unobstructed. Urinary retention and cystitis caused by nervous system diseases are treated according to the type of functional disorder.

The pain that diseases bring us in life is often beyond our expectations, but as long as we maintain good living habits, many diseases can be effectively prevented. By understanding the treatment methods of female cystitis, it is not difficult to find the importance of good living habits to physical health. Especially women must take good care of their bodies, maintain good hygiene habits, and do not let their bodies catch cold.
