Cystitis is an infection of the bladder caused by bacteria or other microorganisms in the urine. The problem is that if left untreated, it becomes chronic and can lead to serious complications. It can even happen that the infection gets to the kidneys and then it gets scary! Other times, chronic cystitis is not due to bacteria, but to the sensitivity of the bladder, which is expressed through inflammation. Cystitis is not a gynecological problem. You just have to go to your GP. Most likely, he will send you for a urine test to determine the cause of the cyst. If they find bacteria, they will prescribe you an antibiotic. If you have chronic inflammation, you will be prescribed something else. Remember the following rules and follow them and you will see that they help a lot: 1. Drink plenty of fluids! 2 liters of water per day, ie 8 glasses of 250 ml. or 10 by 200 ml. If it is difficult for you to drink so much water, it can be juice, tea, compote ... The important thing is not to keep urine in the bladder for a long time, because that is when bacteria start to develop. If you pee often, even if there are some bacteria, they will not have time to multiply. 2. Never squeeze. You pee, right in the bathroom. Don't procrastinate. If you're in class, don't hesitate to ask to go to the bathroom. 3. Eat cranberries. They have many useful properties and prevent the development of cystitis. They sell them in organic stores. I recommend that you look for them frozen and thaw them in a water bath at home. Frozen retain their properties best. But if you don't find them frozen, you can find them dried or in juice. 4. Beware of colds. Make sure your waist is always covered when it is cold and do not stay current. In the summer when you go to the pool or the sea, do not stay with a wet swimsuit. Wear a dry one to change. I have taken monural (fosfomycin) for cystitis for two days in a row and it helped me immediately. But this is an antibiotic and you need a doctor to prescribe it.
