Why cystitis occurs and how to treat it

Cystitis,or the inflammation of the bladder, is the most common form of urinary infection. It can be caused by bacteria that enter through the urethra and begin to multiply, or it is caused by an imbalance of bacteria in your own body.

Cystitis can also be caused by certain medication, or it can be a complication of diabetes, kidney disease, or an enlarged prostate. Anyone is at risk of cystitis, but the condition is much more common in women.

If you feel the need to urinate frequently, sometimes even after you have just emptied your bladder, if your urine looks cloudy and has a strong smell, if you feel abdominal cramps and in the lumbar area, and you also feel like you have a fever, you probably have cystitis. It is advisable to go to the doctor if you experience these symptoms. When treated promptly, cystitis has a good chance of healing quickly, but left untreated it can lead to complications such as kidney infections.

The most prone to cystitis are sexually active women, pregnant women, those in menopause and those who use diaphragms and spermicide.

How to prevent it

  • Drink enough water, about 2 liters per day.
  • Urinate frequently, when you feel the need, do not postpone the moment.
  • Empty your bladder after each intercourse because some bacteria may have been pushed into the urethra.
  • Wash the intimate area with mild soaps or gels, specially created for this part of the body.
  • After going to the toilet, wipe from the vagina to the anus so that bacteria from the anal area do not reach the vagina or the urethra.
  • Avoid using deodorants in the genital area or other products that could irritate the urethra.
