Cystitis is a common urinary system disease. Patients may experience symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, and discomfort due to swelling and pain in the lower abdomen and perineum. In such cases, patients can visit the urology department of their local hospital for examination and treatment. Initially, routine urine tests and urinary system ultrasound can be performed to determine whether the patient has cystitis. If necessary, a cystoscopy may also be needed. Once diagnosed, treatment can be administered orally or via intravenous antibiotics.

Is cystitis easy to treat?

Cystitis refers to the congestion of the bladder mucosa caused by a bacterial infection, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and blood in the urine. In this case, antibiotics can be used for treatment. If necessary, a urine culture and drug sensitivity test should be conducted, and sensitive antibiotics should be selected based on the results. Alternatively, empirical medication using levofloxacin or cephalosporin antibiotics can be employed. After anti-inflammatory treatment, recovery usually occurs within about a week. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drinking more water and urinating frequently can help flush out negative exudates and blood clots from the bladder.

What is tested for cystitis?

After suffering from cystitis, a definitive diagnosis can be made through routine urine tests, ultrasonography, urine culture, and antibiotic sensitivity tests. Typically, the routine urine test will show a significant increase in white blood cells, possibly accompanied by pus cells, and often an increase in red blood cells as well. Ultrasonography may reveal inflammatory changes such as thickening and roughness of the bladder wall. Combined with the patient's clinical symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or even blood in urine, a clear diagnosis can be established. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is advisable to promptly treat with antibiotics. Oral antibiotics, such as levofloxacin tablets or cephalosporins like cefuroxime axetil capsules, are commonly used. During treatment, it is recommended to eat a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently.
