Recurrent cystitis, prevention, and basic habits to cure cystitis!!

Cystitis is a disease characterized by a sharp pain, discomfort, and a feeling of pressure in the urethra when urinating, and it has a high recurrence rate once it occurs. However, I have never experienced a recurrence of cystitis after having it once. Let me tell you about how I completely recovered from cystitis.

I had a bladder infection a long time ago. It was during my working years, and due to the nature of my job, it was difficult to go to the bathroom whenever I wanted, and even when I felt the urge to urinate, I had to hold it and wait until I could go.

While working, I also experienced stress and a weakened immune system, which I think led to a bladder infection. My symptoms of bladder infection include the constant urge to urinate even after going to the bathroom, and the urgency is so strong that I feel like I might leak at any moment, but when I actually go to the bathroom, only a small amount of urine comes out, and it’s frustrating. There’s no refreshing feeling at all, and I constantly feel residual urine and discomfort, along with a heavy sensation in my abdomen. Additionally, there was a stabbing pain in the front of my genitals, as if pierced with a needle. When I have a bladder infection, it’s extremely painful and uncomfortable, with no relief from urination, and I feel a persistent, unpleasant sensation of residual urine. The urethral area feels very uncomfortable and constricted, making it really difficult. Even when sleeping at night, I often wake up feeling the urgent need to urinate, which causes me to go to the bathroom frequently. However, I don’t urinate much each time, making it uncomfortable and causing me to sleep poorly, which made me very tired.

Cystitis is known to occur more frequently in women, and the reason is that anatomically, the urethra is shorter, making it easier for intestinal bacteria to colonize the perineum and vaginal opening.

Cystitis is most commonly caused by Escherichia coli, and factors such as infections from sexual activity, unhygienic lifestyle habits, and weakening of the bladder mucosa due to hormonal changes can be causes. It is also said that when immunity is weakened, the risk of bacterial infection increases.

Cystitis is a very common condition often called a cold of the bladder, and because it has a high likelihood of recurrence, ongoing management and effort are necessary.

For bladder infection treatment, most simple cystitis cases improve naturally within 1-2 weeks, but if bacterial infection is confirmed, antibiotic treatment is necessary.

You can go to the hospital and get a prescription for antibiotics. Antibiotic treatment is effective in quickly reducing inflammation, so taking the medication usually significantly improves symptoms of cystitis.

Since I had cystitis once, I have never experienced a recurrence until now. It means I am cured of cystitis^^

My method to cure cystitis is~

When I have a bladder infection, I find the pain and discomfort, the irritation so unbearable that I never hold back when I feel the urge to urinate and go straight to the bathroom!! Holding in urine can also cause bladder infections~

And I also took care of cleanliness habits and immune system management.

Cure for cystitis and hygiene habits~

Taking a shower is basic, and of course, for women, it's a habit to wipe from front to back after bowel movements.

The habit of wiping from back to front after bowel movements increases the risk of bacterial infection from the urethra to the anus, so it is natural to wipe from front to back. I especially developed the habit of washing after using tissue after bowel movements^^

You should minimize stressful situations. It is best to relax your body and mind as much as possible and manage stress.

That could happen too~ This too shall pass~ Relax your mind!!

What are the important habits for curing cystitis??

You should drink enough water.

I don't drink water very well. Since I got cystitis, I make sure to drink enough water to frequently flush out bacteria from my bladder.

If you drink water, you will urinate frequently, but don't hold it when you feel the urge; go to the bathroom immediately.

I took probiotics as a method to cure cystitis.

If you lack probiotics, harmful bacteria can proliferate and cause cystitis, so it's good to regularly take probiotics.^^
