The painful symptoms of cystitis are difficult to confuse with simple discomfort. Frequent urges to go to the bathroom with pain and cramps when urinating can take you out of your usual schedule for several days. So that the disease does not take you by surprise and does not ruin important plans, it is necessary to have a fast-acting and inexpensive medicine for female cystitis in your medicine cabinet.
Quick relief of the symptoms of the disease.
Cystitis is an inflammation of the mucosal epithelium of the bladder caused by infections, injuries, or a general decrease in immunity.
There are many factors that predispose to the development of urological diseases. We have all heard in childhood that we should not sit in the cold. However, in addition to frostbite of the pelvic area, the provokers of the disease can be:
- prolonged and uncontrolled use of antibiotics;
- anatomically incorrect location of the female urethra;
- hormonal imbalance;
- vaginal infections and dysbacteriosis;
- non-compliance with intimate hygiene rules;
- wear tight, synthetic underwear;
- wash with harsh soaps or fragranced gels;
- rough sexual intercourse or active sexual life after a period of abstinence.
The inflammatory process of the urinary system is characterized by a sudden and striking onset. Women note a sharp increase in the urge to urinate (often false), pain in the urethra, pain in the suprapubic region, increased body temperature, nausea, chills and general weakness.
An ailment like this can ruin all your plans and leave you without work for several days. Therefore, the question of rapid relief of painful symptoms is extremely relevant.
Treatment of cystitis in women with fast-acting drugs is used in several situations:
- During an outbreak of acute cystitis.Medications are designed to quickly relieve pain and eliminate discomfort when urinating. The medications are used for emergency care, but do not provide complete therapy in 1 to 2 days. After eliminating painful symptoms, treatment should continue for 3 to 5 days.
- For the prevention of chronic inflammation.In the life of women with anatomical features of the structure of the urethra or a tendency to postcoital cystitis, risk factors for exacerbation of the disease are constantly present. To prevent exacerbations, they are prescribed fast-acting medications. Medications should be taken before symptoms appear, in cases which usually lead to a relapse of the disease.
- For the treatment of exacerbations of chronic cystitis.The symptoms of exacerbations almost do not differ from those of the acute form of the disease. Consequently, first of all it is necessary to alleviate the general condition of the patient and eliminate discomfort. For this, fast-acting drugs are used. Additionally, as with conventional therapy, medication continues. The chronic form of the disease may require longer treatment with medications after the main symptoms disappear.
Treatment of acute cystitis in one day.
A drug from the group of phosphonic acid derivatives is the best fast-acting uroseptic for bladder inflammation. An antimicrobial remedy for cystitis in women provides rapid treatment of an acute inflammatory process and eliminates signs of the disease within 24 hours. The medicine package contains a sachet of powder for preparing a solution. The powder is dissolved in water (about 1/3 cup). It is necessary to take the medicine a few hours before or after meals; Some experts recommend taking it at night, after emptying the bladder.
The composition includes a synthetic antimicrobial substance - a derivative of phosphonic acid. A broad-spectrum antibiotic suppresses cellular synthesis of pathogenic molecules. Active against enterococci, staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli, enterobacteria, proteus, klebsiella and other pathogens.
During a mild initial flare of the disease, a woman only needs a single dose of antibiotic. If the disease is advanced and the symptoms do not completely disappear after the first time, doctors recommend repeating the medication after a day. The medication is usually not used to treat chronic cystitis, except as an emergency treatment for exacerbations.
Therapy with uroseptics of the antibacterial group.
Uroseptics of other groups are designed for longer treatment - 5-7 days. However, they also quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms and discomfort caused by urological inflammation. Most often, cystitis is treated with the following groups of antibiotics:
- Nitrofuran derivatives.The duration of treatment and the exact dosage are prescribed by the treating doctor. The average duration of the course is 10 to 14 days.
- Fluoroquinolones. According to their chemical structure, fluoroquinolones are classified as antimicrobial drugs, but in medicine they are used as widely used antibiotics.
Important!Medicines from the fluoroquinolone group have a wide range of applications, therefore the attending physician prescribes the dosage depending on the localization of the inflammatory process.
You can take the tablets before meals or between meals.
- Cephalosporins.Antibiotics of this type are usually prescribed to treat advanced and chronic inflammation of the genitourinary system. The drugs are used in the form of oral injections, suspensions and capsules. In the treatment of severe cystitis in women, intramuscular injections of cephalosporins provide a rapid effect. Some medications can be purchased in the form of oral powders for suspensions or capsules. They are effective for the treatment of acute uncomplicated cystitis. The dosage form and dosage of the drug are prescribed by the attending physician, taking into account the results of the diagnosis and the general state of health.
It is important to take uroseptics from the antibacterial group as prescribed by a urologist. During the consultation, it is necessary to inform the doctor about the presence of concomitant diseases and medications that you are already taking.
Patients with kidney and liver failure should take special care when receiving antibiotic treatment. Such pathologies require careful prescription of medications and individual dosage adjustment. Before taking the drug, be sure to read the list of contraindications and possible adverse reactions.
Herbal preparations
Herbal medicines have a weaker bacteriostatic effect and are more aimed at relieving inflammation than at fighting infections. Herbal preparations are prescribed in two cases:
- with mild inflammation of the mucous membranes, not complicated by serious infection;
- in addition to antibacterial therapy.
This type of drug helps to quickly restore the integrity of the mucous membranes of the affected organ and has a strong diuretic effect. Thanks to the second factor, pathogenic microorganisms are eliminated from the body along with urine.
The average duration of general treatment with herbal preparations is 2 to 4 weeks. Patients notice a decrease in painful symptoms at the end of the first week of therapy. If the herbal preparation is taken in combination with an antibiotic, the therapeutic effect is achieved much faster, and the painful manifestations disappear already on the 3rd or 4th day of treatment.
Fast-acting herbal medicines for cystitis in women can be purchased without a prescription, but should be used only as prescribed by a doctor; herbal ingredients do not guarantee the absence of contraindications or side effects. Drugs can have a rapid effect only if their antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory action is sufficient to stop the inflammatory process.
This effect cannot be achieved if you are facing a serious infection or advanced cystitis. Therefore, a urologist should prescribe you a herbal medication after a diagnostic evaluation of your condition.
ethnoscience
The recipes of traditional healers did not prevent the problem of cystitis. They promise to quickly get rid of cystitis using products based on:
- blueberries;
- rosehip
- dill seeds;
- horse tail;
- daisies.
Decoctions, tinctures and herbal infusions are prepared from the above components, designed to reduce inflammation and eliminate pathogens along with urine. It is worth noting that all folk remedies for cystitis have a strong diuretic effect. People with kidney problems should not get carried away with these types of recipes. Hypotensive patients should also use herbs with caution, as some plants have a vasodilating effect and can increase blood pressure.
When using exclusively traditional medicine recipes, it is important to ensure that you are not dealing with an infection. Herbal remedies have a very low bactericidal effect and will not have a noticeable effect on serious pathogens.
However, you can consult your doctor and use herbal infusions and teas as a complement to drug therapy.
General rules for the treatment of cystitis.
When treating cystitis with antimicrobial tablets, the effect is achieved quickly, but it is important to continue therapy according to the doctor's recommendations: elimination of symptoms does not mean a complete cure.
It is important to avoid the factors that cause cystitis. Try not to freeze, refrain from sexual intercourse during treatment and exclude salty and spicy foods from your diet.
Follow these recommendations:
- During the first days of treatment, while unpleasant symptoms bother you, stay in bed.
- You can relieve the pain with antispasmodics, if the discomfort is minor, a warm heating pad applied to the stomach will help.
- Drink plenty of water, at least 2 liters per day. You should avoid juices, coffee, and sweet sodas.
- Carefully monitor genital hygiene. It is better to wash with warm water without soap. If you use intimate hygiene gel, make sure that the composition does not contain fragrances.
- Wear comfortable cotton underwear. It is best to avoid tight styles and synthetic fabrics.
You should not treat cystitis with medications yourself, as you can make a mistake with the choice of medication, dosage and duration of treatment.
Any fast-acting antibacterial remedy for cystitis cannot be taken without a diagnosis and prescription from a urologist; Incorrect treatment threatens the development of resistance of the infectious pathogen to antibiotics.
Antibacterial uroseptics should not be abused or taken too frequently. Patient self-government often leads to untreated infections that provoke the development of chronic diseases of the genitourinary system.
It is important to understand that antimicrobial drugs can negatively affect the vaginal microflora and lead to dysbiosis. In such a situation, many women find themselves in a vicious circle when, due to self-medication with antibiotics, the balance of opportunistic microorganisms is disturbed and pathogens from the vagina enter the urethra.
Incorrect use of medications can lead not only to the development of chronic cystitis, but also to complications in the form of pyelonephritis.
Pyelonephritis is an infectious inflammation of the kidneys. In women, this disease is usually a complication of cystitis and is caused by ascending infection. This happens if a cystitis exacerbation is ignored or treated with the wrong medications. As a result, an advanced or untreated infection ascends to the kidneys through the ureters. One or both kidneys may become inflamed.
Symptoms of cystitis with pyelonephritis may persist or fade into the background. A characteristic sign of a kidney infection is lower back pain located in the kidney area. Patients may also have fever and severe muscle weakness.
It will not be possible to cure pyelonephritis with fast-acting tablets for cystitis, herbal remedies or home herbs. The disease is diagnosed by a urologist or nephrologist after a urine analysis and ultrasound diagnosis. After which the patient is prescribed treatment with antibacterial medications that treat both the kidneys and the bladder. Women are often prescribed prophylactic doses of antifungals or combination antibiotics to exclude gynecological infections from the clinical picture.
If you want to get rid of cystitis quickly and permanently, do not self-medicate. A qualified urologist will be able to select effective medications for genitourinary diseases. Bed rest, drinking plenty of fluids, and a proper diet will help speed up the recovery process. Remember that rapid relief of symptoms is not a reason to abandon therapy.
