Patients with cystitis do not need surgery. Cystitis mainly occurs when the bladder's mucous membrane is infected by bacteria, causing inflammation inside the bladder. Patients often experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and lower abdominal pain. Cystitis is primarily treated with medication, usually under a doctor’s guidance, either orally or through intravenous antibiotics. Additionally, patients are advised to drink more water and urinate frequently, which generally can cure cystitis.

How many days can cystitis heal itself?

Patients with cystitis cannot heal on their own without formal treatment; instead, their symptoms will gradually worsen. The main symptoms of cystitis include frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or perineum. After a confirmed diagnosis of cystitis, it is necessary to seek timely treatment at the local hospital's urology department. Treatment can be administered through intravenous antibiotics or by taking oral antibiotics. Additionally, patients should increase their water intake and urinate frequently, as these measures can effectively treat cystitis. Generally, patients can recover within about a week.

What should I do about cystitis?

After discovering cystitis, do not be too stressed mentally, actively treat it, drink more water, and orally take sodium bicarbonate to alkalinize the urine. This can reduce irritation to the urinary tract. Additionally, medicines like atropine and diazepam can be used, and appropriate heat application to the bladder area, as well as hot water sitz baths, can alleviate bladder spasms. Antibiotics such as cephalosporins and quinolones can be appropriately used. For simple cystitis, you can choose antibiotics that are more sensitive, using a three-day treatment method, which is similar to a seven-day course, with fewer side effects and lower costs. (Please use medications under the guidance of a doctor.)

How is bladder calculus treated?

Patients with cystitis who also have bladder stones need to use antibiotics for local anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, the bladder stones require formal treatment. If the size of the stone is less than 2 centimeters, patients can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the lithotripsy department. If the size of the stone is more than 2 centimeters, patients need to visit the urology department for minimally invasive surgery, specifically ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. During this procedure, a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra to visually break up and flush out the stone.
