Cystitis is primarily treated with antibiotics, so moxibustion can only serve as an auxiliary treatment method. Commonly chosen acupoints include Zhongji and Guanyuan. Moxibustion involves igniting a moxa stick, targeting the body's meridians and channels to achieve a therapeutic effect. Moxibustion can effectively unblock the body's meridians, and for certain symptoms of diseases like cystitis, it can have a significant effect. It is a treatment method in traditional Chinese medicine. From the perspective of Chinese medicine, the treatment of cystitis with moxibustion is considered a form of internal and external medicine, where blood and qi play a direct role.

What should women with cystitis pay attention to?

Female patients suffering from cystitis should first go to the hospital's urology department to receive regular antibiotic treatment. Along with treatment, dietary habits should be kept light, avoiding spicy and irritating foods such as onions, ginger, garlic, and chili peppers. Additionally, avoid drinking strong tea, coffee, and other stimulating beverages. In terms of daily routine, avoid sitting for long periods and holding in urine. Engage in appropriate exercise, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to help flush out inflammatory exudates and bacteria from the bladder, which aids in treating the disease. Furthermore, strengthen the hygiene care of the external genitalia, keeping the area clean and dry, all of which are beneficial for the treatment of the disease.

Causes of cystitis

Cystitis refers to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, painful urination, hematuria, and even lower abdominal pain caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, mycoplasma, chlamydia, etc. The most common cause is bacteria entering the urethra through the urethral opening and spreading to the bladder. Additionally, kidney diseases such as pyelonephritis can also cause cystitis. Bacteria from the remaining infected urine produced by pyelonephritis travel down the ureters into the bladder, thus causing cystitis. After contracting cystitis, it is necessary to receive timely anti-inflammatory treatment, and generally, the condition can be healed with about a week of medication.

Can cystitis cause blood in urine?

Patients with cystitis may experience hematuria, commonly terminal hematuria, which occurs towards the end of urination. Sometimes, blood is present throughout the entire urination process, even with blood clots being expelled. The onset is often quite sudden, and may be accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination, with severe cases needing to urinate every few minutes, regardless of day or night. Therefore, when cystitis leads to hematuria, there is no need for concern. Timely treatment can fully resolve the issue, and it is important not to be overly stressed mentally.
