Is hematuria in cystitis severe?

Cystitis refers to the congestion and edema of the bladder mucosa caused by infections from bacteria, viruses, etc., leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgent urination, and painful urination. The presence of blood in the urine indicates that the bladder mucosa has been compromised, possibly involving mucosal rupture, ulceration, or even invasion of blood vessels, resulting in bleeding. This suggests that the cystitis has progressed to a more severe stage and requires timely anti-inflammatory treatment. Treatments might include oral administration of levofloxacin tablets or cephalosporin antibiotics, and if necessary, intravenous antibiotics may be used. During treatment, it is advisable to consume a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently to help flush out negative exudates and blood clots from the bladder.

Symptoms of Chronic Cystitis in Women

The main clinical manifestations of chronic cystitis in women are recurrent symptoms of frequent urination, urgency, and incomplete emptying, accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, generally without the presence of blood in the urine. Chronic cystitis often develops from acute cystitis that has not been fully treated. For such cases, further urine culture and antibiotic sensitivity tests should be conducted. After identifying the causative bacteria, appropriate antibiotics should be used for regular treatment, typically exceeding three weeks. Additionally, there are special types of cystitis, such as glandular cystitis. In cases of this type of chronic cystitis, surgical bladder instillation and other treatments may be necessary.
