hi,
thanks for the query
The term cystitis actually means an inflammation of the bladder .
The causes could be
Infection from intestinal bacteria is by far the most frequent cause of cystitis, especially in women.
Normally, urine is sterile (there are no micro-organisms such as bacteria present).
Congenital deformity in the urinary system
Men with an enlarged prostate
poor Toilet hygiene in women
People with a catheter
Symptoms are
Burning sensations or pain during urination.
Frequent urination.
Cloudy and foul-smelling urine.
Pain directly above the pubic bone
Occasionally blood may be visible in the urine
Try the following to prevent further episodes
drink sufficiently, so the bladder is flushed thoroughly.
During urination the bladder should be emptied completely
drink cranberry juice every day or take capsules.
Recurrent cystitis is a bladder infection that occurs at least twice in 6 months, or three times in a year.
treatment options for recurring cystitis
Antibiotics are usually needed for the treatment of bouts of recurrent cystitis.
urine test and urine culture to see which antibiotics you should be treated with.
taking a low dose of an antibiotic regularly. One dose each night will usually reduce the number of bouts of cystitis. A six-month course of antibiotics is usually given.
hence i suggest try and find the underlying cause and treat it . if there is no obvious cause then u can take the above measures
