Tablets from cystitis - wrong choice fraught with complications

Cystitis is a common disease. Men suffer from them less often than women, this is due to differences in anatomy. According to Russian statistics, at least 40% of the population visited this disease at least once. The reasons that cause it, there are many, and pills for cystitis are prescribed different. We will not consider the special cases associated with other serious diseases or their treatment (radiotherapy of the pelvic organs, for example, in 90% of cases causes cystitis). Let us dwell on the most common form - bacterial cystitis.

It is usually caused by ingestion of the E. coli in the urinary tract, less often by staphylococci, other infections are very rare. Accordingly, tablets are prescribed for cystitis, to which these bacteria are sensitive.

The main mistake in self-treatment is usually the intake of weak or obsolete drugs, for example 5-NOC, nitroxoline. Bacteria that cause cystitis, they are already insensitive. The use of such drugs often leads to the transition of the disease from acute to chronic.

In acute form, also local treatment will not be effective, for example, by instillations of the bladder - this is an additional trauma to the walls, and can lead to complications. It is also ineffective treatment of herbs, dues and other folk remedies, this will only complicate further treatment and will lengthen its terms.

I want to warn against too "complicated" treatment methods with expensive procedures (unverified), drugs and supplements. In practice, these are the same tablets from cystitis (antibiotics), only significantly more expensive.

For treatment, hospitalization is extremely rare, and treatment is done at home. The mucosal wall of the bladder recovers fairly quickly, and the symptoms disappear completely. But it often happens when the doctor prescribes the drugs for the treatment of cystitis. Of course, if you turned to him in time. If the causes that caused cystitis are incorrectly determined, the medicine may not be effective, and the disease will change into a chronic form.

Cystitis is usually accompanied by severe pain and discomfort in the lower abdomen. To ease the condition (not for treatment) use antispasmodics, for example papaverine or atropine. With a hot water bottle it is better not to take risks, because the heat, although it facilitates urination, promotes the reproduction of bacteria, which, in fact, must be disposed of. Heat also increases bleeding, so if there is a suspicion of blood in the urine, the warmer is contraindicated categorically.

All actually treating pills for cystitis are antibiotics, which are taken either once, or by a course of 3 to 7 days. Once you can take monural (3 grams), courses 3 days and 7 days take fluoroquinolones. The recommended course is indicated in the instructions for the specific preparation. For example, three-day courses take levofloxacin (1 time per day), norfloxacin, ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin (2 times a day). The same medicine, depending on the dosage can be used in different courses.

If you have overtaken cystitis, you'll have to stick to a diet for a while: exclude alcohol and coffee, spicy, sour, fatty and fried, and also fizzy drinks. It is better to prefer a dairy diet and vegetable food. Diet is necessary to minimize irritation of the walls of the bladder, and quickly passed unpleasant symptoms. Until the disappearance of painful manifestations should adhere to bed rest, it helps to relax the walls and facilitate urination.

Treatment of chronic cystitis is almost identical to acute treatment, but is supplemented by attention to the underlying disease that caused cystitis. After the main treatment, it may be useful for a month or two to drink light vegetable preparations, the same kanefron (but not instead of treatment).
