Patients with cystitis who also have bladder stones need to use antibiotics for local anti-inflammatory treatment. Meanwhile, the bladder stones require formal treatment. If the size of the stone is less than 2 centimeters, patients can undergo extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in the lithotripsy department. If the size of the stone is more than 2 centimeters, patients need to visit the urology department for minimally invasive surgery, specifically ureteroscopic holmium laser lithotripsy. During this procedure, a ureteroscope is inserted through the urethra to visually break up and flush out the stone.

How many days can cystitis heal itself?

Patients with cystitis cannot heal on their own without formal treatment; instead, their symptoms will gradually worsen. The main symptoms of cystitis include frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and discomfort or pain in the lower abdomen or perineum. After a confirmed diagnosis of cystitis, it is necessary to seek timely treatment at the local hospital's urology department. Treatment can be administered through intravenous antibiotics or by taking oral antibiotics. Additionally, patients should increase their water intake and urinate frequently, as these measures can effectively treat cystitis. Generally, patients can recover within about a week.

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.

What is tested for cystitis?

After suffering from cystitis, a definitive diagnosis can be made through routine urine tests, ultrasonography, urine culture, and antibiotic sensitivity tests. Typically, the routine urine test will show a significant increase in white blood cells, possibly accompanied by pus cells, and often an increase in red blood cells as well. Ultrasonography may reveal inflammatory changes such as thickening and roughness of the bladder wall. Combined with the patient's clinical symptoms, such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, or even blood in urine, a clear diagnosis can be established. Once the diagnosis is confirmed, it is advisable to promptly treat with antibiotics. Oral antibiotics, such as levofloxacin tablets or cephalosporins like cefuroxime axetil capsules, are commonly used. During treatment, it is recommended to eat a light diet, avoid spicy and irritating foods, drink plenty of water, and urinate frequently.

Can cystitis cause blood in urine?

Patients with cystitis may experience hematuria, commonly terminal hematuria, which occurs towards the end of urination. Sometimes, blood is present throughout the entire urination process, even with blood clots being expelled. The onset is often quite sudden, and may be accompanied by frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination, with severe cases needing to urinate every few minutes, regardless of day or night. Therefore, when cystitis leads to hematuria, there is no need for concern. Timely treatment can fully resolve the issue, and it is important not to be overly stressed mentally.
