Naturally cure cystitis and relieve pain

  1. A painful sensation while urinating is often the first sign of cystitis. Many women develop cystitis during their lifetime. The vagina and anus are close together, and the woman's urethra is quite short, allowing bacteria to reach the bladder more quickly. Cystitis can be painful and you can really feel sick. A course of antibiotics is often prescribed by the doctor to combat the bacteria, but you can also use safe and natural remedies for faster healing and pain relief and you can try to prevent cystitis. Natural remedies, such as homeopathic remedies, support the healing process and help with natural resistance.

Cystitis (Cystitis)

  1. Cystitis is an infection in the lower urinary tract. Our urinary system consists of a number of organs and two parts. The upper urinary tract, which contains the kidneys and ureters. And then we also have the lower urinary tract, which contains the bladder and the urethra. In a bladder infection, the bladder and sometimes the urethra are affected by bacteria. Due to their location in the lower urinary tract, it is nowadays also referred to as a low urinary tract infection. A bladder infection is most common in women because the urethra is shorter and is located just behind the anus. The bacteria most responsible for cystitis is the bacteria Escherichia coli (E-coli). This bacteria is usually located in the intestines, but for certain reasons it can reach the bladder and cause infection.

How do you get cystitis

  1. There are several factors that cause you to get a bladder infection. With a reduced resistance, penetrating bacteria quickly have free rein. With poor hygiene, bacteria can quickly reach the bladder. That is why it is very important to have good hygiene. But sexual intercourse, pregnancy and menopause can also cause cystitis.

Intercourse

  1. Cystitis is sometimes referred to as "honeymoon cystitis" because many women develop cystitis after having intercourse. The anus is a constant source of bacteria and when having sexual intercourse bacteria can easily reach the bladder through the urethra. This is because the woman's urethra is quite short and is just behind the anus.

Pregnancy

  1. Pregnant women are more susceptible to cystitis due to a changed hormone balance. The organs in the lower urinary tract change due to the hormones, for example, the ureters widen and the wall of the bladder weakens. In early pregnancy, the growing uterus presses on the bladder, often making you feel like you need to urinate. But often these are just small amounts that you urinate and the bladder is never completely emptied. A little urine often remains and that is an ideal living environment for bacteria.

Transition

  1. During the menopause many women have to deal with one or more bladder infections. A change in hormone levels makes a woman more susceptible to bacteria during and after the menopause. The female hormones estrogens affect the mucous membranes of the vagina and the urethra. During the menopause, these hormones decrease and the mucous membranes become drier, because the mucous membranes of the vagina no longer produce moisture. The mucous membrane of the vagina had a higher acidity before menopause and was a good protection against bacteria. Women also have naturally protective bacteria, also called lactobacilli. These protect the vagina against harmful bacteria. So there is a greater chance of harmful bacteria due to decreased protection.

Complaints

  1. The complaints of a bladder infection are generally very clearly recognizable. Pain while urinating or when passing urine is a very recognizable symptom. The pain is often described as a burning, sharp pain. But there are also other complaints that can indicate a bladder infection:

To the doctor

  1. As soon as the first symptoms of a bladder infection are present, it is advisable to consult your doctor first. The doctor will ask you to collect some urine, so that he can test the urine for the presence of bacteria. If there is a bladder infection, the doctor will prescribe a course of antibiotics.

They contribute to a natural resistance and help to keep the body healthy.

Drinking

  1. To start with you drink a lot. The bacteria must leave the body as quickly as possible and be flushed away. The more you drink, the more you urinate.

  1. Make sure you get enough fluids in a day and that you have to urinate often. This is the only way to ensure that the bacteria can leave the body. In addition, the bladder must be really empty. For women it is sometimes useful to stand up and sit down again, this often helps to empty the last bit of urine. Keep the vagina and anus clean, but avoid perfumed shower products as they can be irritating. Make sure to go to the toilet after intercourse. The urine washes away any bacteria that may have entered the urethra. After going to the toilet, always wipe from front to back so that the bacteria from the anus do not get into the vagina.
