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.)

Symptoms of Chronic Cystitis in Women

The main clinical manifestations of chronic cystitis in women are recurrent symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, generally without the presence of blood in the urine. Chronic cystitis often develops from acute cystitis that has not been fully treated. For such cases, further urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests should be conducted. After identifying the causative bacteria, appropriate antibiotics should be used for regular treatment, typically exceeding three weeks. Additionally, there are special types of cystitis, such as glandular cystitis. In cases of this type of chronic cystitis, surgical bladder instillation and other treatments may be necessary.
