CYSTITIS

Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder produced principally by a bacterial infection, frequently E coli which is found in the intestinal tract. This disease is more common in women.

Symptoms

The desire to the bathroom frequently, often with a sensation of pain.

Itching, irritation and pain in the lower part o the bladder or urethra.

The infection can ascend into the kidneys, infecting them, and can cause pain in the middle back.

Many times urine contains blood or pus. In these cases a fever or chill can occur.

When it occurs in men it must be treated immediately since it can cause serious consequences.

Causes

Infection of the vagina in women in the urethra of the penis in men.

More frequent in women than in men because the urethra and vagina, as well as anus, are closer together, and therefore the infection occurs more easily.

Also it is associated with sexually transmitted diseases like Chlamydia, which irritates and inflames the bladder and urethra, or goes down from the kidneys to the bladder.

Suggested treatment.

Meticulous daily hygiene.

Take natural antibiotic like bee propolis, garlic and aloe vera.

Drink a lot of water preferably with aloe and cranberry juice since this helps to detoxify the kidneys. In addition, cranberry when it comes in contact with urine, acidifies the urine which helps to kill the bacteria. The same is true with vitamin C which acidifies the urine and helps to kill infection.

A study done at Harvard medical school recommends that a group of people drank a half glass of cranberry juice daily over several months and found an improvement in 75% of others who did not drink cranberry juice. Both groups took the same amount of vitamin C.

Cranberry produce a substance that helps keep the bacteria from sticking to the walls of the bladder and urinary tract.

Do not wait long to go to the bathroom. Go when you need to.

Urinate after having sexual relations.

You can also apply the first aid herbal medicine, an ointment made of propolis and aloe vera mix.

Wear cotton undergarment instead of those of synthetic materials since the latter does not allow the body to breathe easily, heat as wall as humidity help in the formation of bacteria.

Note- if cystitis is serious and lasts for a long time it can cause a kidney infection. Consult your physician.
