What pills to drink with cystitis?

Cystitis in women is usually a chronic disease. Frivolous attitude to this disease, self-treatment without consulting a doctor and conducting tests for cystitis can lead to the development of more serious diseases of the female genitourinary system.

Unfortunately, in reality this happens in most cases. Suddenly, the woman begins to feel burning acute pain in the lower abdomen and lower back, discomfort and burning during urination. With cystitis, painful urges to the toilet become frequent, due to which one has to restrict oneself to movement.
However, the woman is in no hurry to see a doctor. After all, getting to the urologist, and even urgent, is not so easy. And when, in addition to this, there are many other more important things – family, career, constant efforts – to set aside a day for going to the doctor becomes an impossible task.

Therefore, a woman needs a reliable answer – which medication is better to take for cystitis, and how easy is it to cope with cystitis? Pharmacies have several drugs for the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the urinary system.

Of course, you need to understand that self-administration of tablets for cystitis is an unsafe exercise. Without consulting a doctor, it is impossible to establish what is the cause of cystitis and what specific form of the disease we are dealing with. Cystitis can be a separate, uncomplicated concomitant cause of the disease. It can also manifest itself as a complex pathology of the organs of the female reproductive system, coupled with an inflammatory process in the kidneys or various infections of the genital and urinary tract.

In chronic cystitis, the subsequent transformation of bladder epithelial cells is highly likely. This process can lead to the formation of benign cysts with a risk of subsequent malignancy, up to the development of bladder cancer.

• E. coli is considered the main cause of infectious cystitis. The provocation of infection of the urinary canal by the bacterium Escherichia coli can be caused by non-observance of sanitary and hygienic rules, the use of linen from non-natural fabrics of such forms as thongs and tanga.
• Quite often, cystitis is caused by some sexually transmitted infections.
• Cystitis can also manifest itself as a reaction to opportunistic microorganisms of the partner’s flora and caused by tissue damage during sexual intercourse (defloration option).

Medicines for cystitis

Back in the not too distant past, cystitis was not considered a pathology of bacterial origin. Therefore, in the treatment of cystitis did not include drugs with antibacterial action. Women treated bladder inflammation with herbal preparations and diet. With a hygiene regime, getting rid of the disease often occurred quickly and without any problems.

Unfortunately, in the modern world, cystitis in the acute phase is rarely cured, allowing the disease to become chronic with infectious complications. In this case, the treatment of cystitis without antibiotic therapy is no longer possible.

Antibiotics

It is worth knowing that antibiotics are drugs that always have contraindications and a range of possible side effects. Before you start taking antibiotics from cystitis, it is advisable to spend urine analysis to establish an infectious agent, and also to conduct a study of the resistance of this bacterial strain to various types of antibiotics, as well as sensitivity to them. When granulating the tissues of the bladder and with complicated cystitis, the doctor may prescribe a procedure for instillation of the bladder with active silver preparations, such as, for example, collargol.

After antibiotic treatment, it is necessary to re-pass urine for bacteriological inoculation to control the absence of pathogens.

Concomitant Therapy

An important condition for the effective treatment of diseases of the genitourinary system is the complexity of therapy. It is necessary to combine antibiotic therapy with maintenance and regenerative therapy with phytopreparations. In addition to the two main components in the treatment of cystitis, concomitant medications are also used to symptomatically relieve the patient’s condition.
