Who may get cystitis?

Any woman can suffer from cystitis but some are more prone to this condition, for example:

1. Younger women (who may be prone to more sexual activity)

2. The elderly (who may be less mobile or have more difficulty emptying their bladder)

3. Pregnant women (whose body changes can make them prone to urinary infections)

4. Post-menopausal women (who may experience vaginal dryness causing soreness and irritation during sexual intercourse).

Men and children can get cystitis too, but this is much less common, and in such cases a doctor's advice must always be sought.

Some tips can effectively help to prevent cystitis:

1. To keep the genital area clean and try to wash this area frequently with warm water.

2. To remember to wipe from front to back, which may reduce the chance of introducing bacteria from the rectal area to the urethra.

3. To increase the intake of fluids, which allows frequent urination to flush the bacteria from the bladder.

4. To urinate immediately after sexual intercourse may help eliminate certain types of bacteria that may have been introduced during intercourse.

5. Refraining from urinating for long periods of time may allow bacteria to have time to multiply, so frequent urination reduces the risk of cystitis in those who are prone to urinary tract infections.

6. To drink cranberry juice can prevent certain types of bacteria from attaching to the wall of the bladder and may lessen the chance of infection.

Why does prostatitis have no discharge?

The glandular tube of prostate is long and crooked. Just because of this, it can cause inflammatory easily. Inflammatory causes obstruction of the glandular tube, so prostatitis has no discharge. Every chronic prostatitis left untreated has obstruction of the glandular tube and keep the toxic material in the prostate. The western medicine for prostatitis can’t break the obstruction of the glandular tube so patients usually find it hard to treat prostatitis.

Prostatitis can cause seminal vesiculitis and orchitis. As prostate and spermatophore is behind the urethra together, prostatitis and seminal vesiculitis can affect with each other. What’s more, the symptoms are similar. Thus, prostatitis can happen along with orchitis and seminal vesiculitis.

The liquid caused by prostatitis can get into spermatophore and cause seminal vesiculitis. However, sometimes seminal vesiculitis can cause prostatitis. Prostatitis can infect testicle and cause orchitis.

The clinical symptoms of prostatitis and orchitis are same. They can happen together and have comorbidity. Herbal remedy can eradicate these diseases together and avoid recurrence.

As inflammatory cause obstruction of the glandular tube, herbal medicine named Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill can break obstruction of the glandular tube and kill toxic material and bacteria. What’s more, it can promote blood circulation by removing blood stasis to treat obstruction. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill for prostatitis is the best choice for patients.

You must attention the following habits when you take medicine:

You must pay attention to your personal hygiene.

2.You must avoid eating chicken, beef, chili, shrimp, seafood and drinking wine. You will delay your time of treatment if you don’t control your diet.

3.You must avoid standing and sitting for long time, riding a bike, holding back urine and masturbation.

How can you cure bacterial prostatitis?

Though bacterial prostatitis is not very common, many men can get this disease easily. Thera are several suggestions can help you to cure bacterial prostatitis.

Antibiotics: Once you have concluded you have bacterial prostatitis you need to be on an effective antibiotic that will kill the primary bacteria, yeast or other organism responsible.. The choice of the antibiotic is important: the pH (6.4) of the prostatic liquid and the lipid membrane constitutes a barrier for most antibiotics. Only basic and liposoluble components, e.g. quinolones have a satisfactory intraprostatic penetration rate and a significant antibacterial effect.You need to keep track of your symptoms to see if you are actually improving so as to evaluate the effectiveness.

Empty the prostate often while on antibiotics. For example if you are using Levaquin, which is taken one time per day at about 500 mg, you should empty the prostate about 30 minutes to one hour after taking the medication on an empty stomach with a large glass of water. Because the prostate is essentially dormant if full but when emptied it will fill with blood in order to recharge.  While most research studies note the poor penetration rate of antibiotic into the prostate only a few indicate the need to encourage blood flow by emptying the prostate often.

Herbal remedies. Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is a typical herbal remedy for bacterial prostatitis. In Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill, materials such as polygonum aviculare, dianthus superbus, talc and plantago can clear heat and promot diuresis. Houttuynia can clear toxic materials. Safflower is able to promote blood circulation. There are also various pure herbs which can help patients improve physical conditioning in the meidicine. In general, sufferers can recover in three months.

3 Tests to Diagnose Interstitial Cystitis

As there is no test has proved to be accurate, doctors hold different opinions about how to diagnose interstitial cystitis. When we are going to the hospital, we are usually asked about our medical history, and to do physical exams and urine tests, which are important to exclude other conditions that might be causing similar symptoms to interstitial cystitis. If there are no other causes of those interstitial cystitis symptoms found, it’s usually confirmed that it is the disease. However, there are still other doctors who believe that more tests are necessary to determine whether the patient has it.

Some doctors use a test called the potassium sensitivity test. Doctors place the solution of potassium and water into the bladder, and then compare the pain and urgency. A person who has IC feels more pain and urgency with the potassium solution than with the water, but patients with normal bladders cannot tell the difference between the two solutions.

Cystoscopy is one test that many doctors use, in which the doctor looks inside the bladder with a cystoscope. This test can rule out other diseases such as cancer. Cystoscopy can be performed in the doctor's office, and a more invasive test can be performed in the operating room. A basic cystoscopic examination is followed by a stretching or distention of the bladder through instilling water under pressure, with which cracks in the bladder in more severe cases can be revealed. If a person has symptoms of IC and the cystoscopy shows bleeding or ulcers, the diagnosis is fairly certain. But most people who have the similar symptoms do not have these bleeding areas, a bladder biopsy is needed, which can rule out other bladder diseases.

Urodynamics evaluation, another test that was once considered to be part of the standard IC evaluation, but is no longer believed to be necessary in all cases, which involves filling the bladder with water through a small catheter, and measuring bladder pressures as the bladder fills and empties. If the bladder has a small capacity and pain when being filed, it’s believed it is interstitial cystitis.

Even though there is no best way to diagnose the interstitial cystitis so far, one should be suspected as a possible patient if he or she has typical symptoms and a negative urine examination showing no infection or blood. So, it’s necessary to take some anti-inflammatory medicine such as antibiotics or traditional Chinese medicine, diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, to eliminate inflammation in the bladder to prevent it from getting worse before the disease is confirmed.

Six risk factors for interstitial cystitis in women

Interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome (IC/PBS) affects women predominantly, with an average age at onset of 40 years. It also affects men and, children also affected in rare cases. IC/BPS may be associated with urgent urination, frequent urination, night urination, and sterile urine cultures. Those who suffer from interstitial cystitis may have symptoms that overlap with other urinary bladder disorders such as: urinary tract infection (UTI), overactive bladder, urethritis, urethral syndrome, and prostatitis.

Research still couldn’t find out why bladder infections are so common in women, it's thought maybe because a woman's urethra (the tube that carries urine from the bladder out of the body) is short, and its opening is close to the anus, making it easy for bacteria to travel from the colon to the bladder.

The causes of interstitial cystitis are unknown either. Some possible factors have been released. Some experts say an unidentified infectious agent may be the cause, though no bacteria or viruses (pathogens) have been found in the urine of IC sufferers. Others believe that IC occurs with ischemia (tissue death) or a deficiency of GAG in the epithelium of unknown cause, though genetic predispositions in some patients have been documented. It may be an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks healthy cells, perhaps following a bladder infection. It is likely that several factors in combination cause the condition.

But six risk factors for interstitial cystitis in women have been found by the experts, they are;
Women who have excessive sexual activity, which can introduce bacteria into the urinary tract;
Women who use of diaphragms and spermicides, which alter the bacteria in a woman's urethra;
Women who get pregnancy, because of changes in anatomy and physiology (a UTI can put the unborn child at risk and a doctor should be consulted immediately);
Women whose medical conditions that suppress the immune system or make emptying the bladder difficult.
Women who have UTI, the chances of developing another one increase substantially.

To keep away from interstitial cystitis, you should avoid these six risk factors. If you have already infected with it, you should get the treatment immediately. Luckily there is an herbal medicine named diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill, which could cure it effectively by eliminating inflammation, killing bacteria, clearing heat, and promoting the blood circulation.
