The urinary system is often exposed to infections.One of the common infectious diseases of the urinary tract is cystitis.What to do with cystitis in women?The treatment of pathology must begin with the first symptoms.In the absence of therapy, the disease acquires a chronic form, which will be much more difficult to face.
Factors and symptoms of the disease
Cystitis is a disease of an infectious inflammatory nature that develops in the bladder area.The disease is more frequently diagnosed in women, but cases of cystitis in men are not excluded.
The reason for the development of cystitis becomes a conventional pathogenic flora on the urinary paths of infection:
- streptococci;
- Escherichia sticks;
- staphylococci;
- and others.
The infection can be a consequence of the lack of consequence with the rules of hygienic standards for the care of the genitals or the result of the inflammatory process.The pathology is also transmitted sexually (ureplasma or mycoplasma).
With cystitis, the patient has symptoms:
- pain in the urine process;
- Sudden attacks of pain at the bottom of the abdomen;
- a feeling of incomplete devastation of urinary;
- urinary fluid incontinence;
- The color of the urine is muddy;
- urine release with blood;
- Temporary fever at 38 degrees.
In women, cystitis treatment is carried out on an outpatient way by taking drugs.When performing therapy in the initial stage, the disease can be eliminated without complications.
The choice of treatment tactics
The effectiveness of therapeutic measures depends on how early diagnosis is made.The determination of the cause of the pathology (identification of the type of infection) also plays an important role.With the development of a chronic or acute form of cystitis, medicines may not have an effect, and infection will progress even more, causing kidney diseases and genital organs.
The main task of the specialists involved in patient therapy is to prevent the inflammatory process by destroying pathological microorganisms in the area of damage to the urinary mucosa.
The choice of a medication for cystitis is dedicated exclusively to a doctor taking into account the characteristics of the disease in women:
- type of infection;
- The degree of development of the disease;
- individual characteristics of the body (age, gender, weight);
- the presence of contraindications;
- The tendency to manifest adverse reaction.
An important point is to determine the reaction of pathological microorganisms to the composition of the drug.For this, a special study is carried out to help establish the most appropriate medicine.
Competent approach to the treatment of cystitis
Pharmacological therapy includes a drug complex from different groups.A woman is prescribed cystitis tablets not only to destroy the infection, but also to prevent inflammation, as well as to reduce the intensity of symptoms.
With a complex therapy, medicines for groups are recommended:
- antibiotics;
- herbal preparations;
- antispasmodics;
- anti -inflammatory;
- Probiotics
For a more effective treatment of cystitis in women, it is necessary, in addition to taking medications, adhering to a special diet and observing hygiene measures.
Antibiotics
The main drug group that helps prevent the progression of infection with cystitis in women are antibacterial medications.
Antibiotics have a strong effect on body weight, so it is desirable to take them only as prescribed by a doctor.
Vegetable drugs
Phytoparaciones have a lower effect than antibiotics, however, their toxic effects are lower, so their use is allowed during pregnancy (with the resolution of a specialist).
In women, cystitis based on a natural composition is used in combination with antibiotics.Therefore, treatment and restoration are faster.
Antispasmodics
With cystitis, the patient often cares about spasms in the urinary tract, especially during urine.To eliminate pain and cramps, a woman is recommended for cystitis medications with a drug addictine content.
It is recommended to take medications that contain drugover for symptomatic therapy.A short -term reception is possible (2 - 3 days).
Anti -inflammatory drugs
In addition to antibiotics, anti -inflammatory medications that prevent the development of complications, especially with greater risks of renal inflammation, can be prescribed to a patient with cystitis.
The drugs of the anti -inflammatory group are often prescribed for the administration of a single time with a greater intensity of symptoms (pain or temperature).
Probiotics
The use of antibiotics in most cases leads to a violation of stomach functionality due to the effects of drugs on the walls of the gastrointestinal tract.To facilitate the operation of the digestive tract for the treatment period, an articular intake of probiotics is prescribed.
Taking probiotics reduces the risk of an adverse reaction to gastrointestinal tract medications.
Contraindications and side effects
Any medication for the treatment of cystitis in women should be selected taking into account the possible contraindications.In the therapy process, the patient can also manifest symptoms of an adverse reaction, whose cause are contraindications, exceeding the recommended dose or a possible individual body reaction to drugs.
Contraindications:
- individual sensitivity to the components;
- a series of chronic diseases;
- altered renal or liver functions;
- Central nervous system problems.
Most medications are not recommended to take during pregnancy or breastfeeding, as well as at the age of 18 or after 60 years.
Side reaction:
- Gastrointestinal tract disorder (diarrhea/constipation, nausea, abdomen pain);
- jumps into blood pressure, tachycardia and other disorders of the cardiovascular system;
- head pain or dizziness episodes;
- Depressive states or humor changes;
- allergic reaction on the skin;
- Change of urine color (brightly yellow).
Taking medications in the presence of contraindications can cause the development or exacerbation of concomitant diseases.With an adverse reaction, symptomatic therapy can be prescribed to the patient.
Adequate nutrition during treatment
To accelerate the treatment of cystitis and prevent complications together with the use of medicines, it is necessary to observe a diet that restores the microflora mucosa and the functionality of the urinary.
For use it is recommended:
- a large number of fruits, as well as vegetables;
- Fruit drinks, green tea or gifts (without sugar);
- Close grain cereals.
Carrots, cabbage, pumpkin, asparagus, bran and cedar nuts should be included in the diet.
With cystitis, the consumption of any salt that has an irritating effect on the bladder walls must be excluded.
It is also undesirable to use:
- condiments;
- canned food;
- smoked meats;
- sour;
- Sharp dishes.
The treating doctor recommends the right diet or can go to a nutritionist.
Treatment with cystitis drugs should not begin without a preliminary consultation of a doctor who establishes an individual treatment scheme for each woman.
