The cystitis, or inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, is, unfortunately, one of the most common urogenital disorders of the beautiful half of humanity.According to the data that the World Health Organization (WHO) leads to 50% of women to transfer cystitis to one form or another during their lives (among men this figure does not exceed 1%!), With 10-15% of patients a chronic cystitis is diagnosed.And this statistics, according to WHO, will grow in terms of incidence every year.Why is this disorder in women more often than in men and is it possible to avoid cystitis and its recurrence?
Physiology and anything else that
80% of those who faced the doctor with the diagnosis of "cystitis" - representatives of fair sex, therefore cystitis is often called female disease.The "fault" of this is the anatomical characteristics of the body: the urethra (urethra) in women is shorter and wider than men.In addition, the vagina and anus are located near the urethra, which creates adequate conditions for "settlement" and the reproduction of aggressive microorganisms in the bladder and urethra.
The causes of cystitis
The factors that cause cystitis are divided into Infectious AND non -infectious.The causal agents of the former are E. coli, clamidia, ureaplasma or mushrooms similar to the yeast of the candid genre.These microorganisms can fall into the bladder from the outside or from the inside, more often with a blood flow, sap by the focus of the inflammatory process in the kidneys or genitals.TO non -infectious reasons Criminals in the immune system, metabolism and production of hormones, compromised nervous system, allergies, consequences of radiotherapy and some other conditions and ailments.
Urologists also call these predisposing cystitis factors such as:
-
hypothermia;
-
"Frivolous" wardrobe: wear clothes that opens the stomach and the lower part of the back in the fresh season;Wear tight things, tights, underwear;
-
sedentary lifestyle, sedentary work (hypodynamia);
-
Random sexual life, unprotected sexual contacts;
-
non -compliance with the rules of staff, including underwear, hygiene;
-
violation of emptying (the presence of residual urine in the bladder);
-
hypovitaminosis;
-
Frequent stress, overload, lack of sleep;
-
chronic diseases of other organs and systems, in particular the parental system;
-
menopause, diabetes mellitus;
- The love of very spicy, spicy and very fried food (its ingredients act on the walls of the irritating bladder).
Cystitis symptoms
The cystitis, in contrast with the hyperactive bladder syndrome (these disorders are often confused), like any internal inflammatory process, proceeds painfully enough.It is accompanied by frequent, including the night, the call to the cabinet, a burning sensation, the pain during urinating and after emptying, a constant feeling of overfish of the bladder and a slightly high body temperature.The urine has a muddy urine, sometimes with a mixture of blood and mucus.
Forms of cystitis
By nature of the course of the disease, cystitis is divided into spicy AND chronic.The acute cystitis starts suddenly, declaring itself with frequent campaigns in the bathroom (sometimes every 20-30 minutes), a slightly high body temperature and painful sensations in the bladder and perineum area.If the inflammatory process rises higher than the kidneys, the temperature grows up to the dangerous 39–40 degrees Celsius.Chronic cystitis proceeds with the same symptoms, but weaker than the pronounced, while exacerbations of acute cystitis are possible.As a disturbance, chronic cystitis is secondary: the cause of its occurrence becomes any other disease of the parental or kidney system.
Diagnosis and treatment of cystitis
Both are the prerogative of the doctor, urologist or gynecologist.It is better not to engage in the car -mediation with cystitis, otherwise it can go to a chronic form.The diagnosis of the disease includes an examination of general blood (to detect the signs of the inflammatory process in the body), general analysis and biochemistry of urine, urine analysis for bacteriological sowing (to detect the causal agent of the infection).It is also possible to prescribe an ultrasound of the bladder and the kidneys, the strip for the study of the vaginal microflora, the study of the flow of urine, the inspection of cystoscopy - of the internal surface of the bladder using a special catheter with an optical and lighting system, which is introduced through the urethra.
The treatment of cystitis provides:
-
Non -pharmacological methods: physiotherapy, diet saved, seated bathrooms and collections of diuretic herbs;
-
Medicine therapy: analgesics, antibiotics as prescribed by the attending physician;
-
surgery (in particularly complex and advanced cases).
In the chronic form of cystitis, the treatment will be carried out taking into account the therapy of the underlying disease, for example the infection of the genital tract.In addition, medical and preventive measures that strengthen immunity are prescribed to patients.
Cystitis prevention
Knowing the predisposing factors of the development of cystitis, it is easy to understand what the expert recommendations will be: fighting stress, sleeping, excluding the probability of hypothermia, improving diet and drinking more non -carbonate pure water and acidic juices and freshly prepared fruit drinks.In addition, in the list of doctor's advice, a reminder will necessarily observe personal hygiene and abandon the uncomfortable body of narrow clothes and narrow linen - these things worsen the blood circulation in the pelvis. The timely search for a doctor when disturbing symptoms are of fundamental importance.It is recommended to women and in the absence of complaints to undergo a preventive examination of the gynecologist twice a year.
Excellent health!
