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.

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.

What water should be drunk for cystitis?

Patients with cystitis generally just need to drink plain boiled water. It is important for cystitis patients to ensure they drink more than 2500ml of plain boiled water daily. Drinking sufficient water can increase urine production, promptly flushing the bladder and urethra, which helps in the quick recovery of the condition. If the condition of a cystitis patient is more severe, medication may be necessary. Common medications include cephalosporins and quinolones, such as cefuroxime, cefpodoxime, and levofloxacin. Along with medication, patients should adhere to a bland diet and avoid spicy and stimulating foods such as chili, fried foods, and barbecue. Alcohol should not be consumed while taking medication, especially cephalosporins, as drinking alcohol could lead to a disulfiram-like reaction, severely harming health. (Medication should be used under the guidance of a physician.)

Is cystitis easy to treat?

Cystitis refers to the congestion of the bladder mucosa caused by a bacterial infection, leading to symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, painful urination, and blood in the urine. In this case, antibiotics can be used for treatment. If necessary, a urine culture and drug sensitivity test should be conducted, and sensitive antibiotics should be selected based on the results. Alternatively, empirical medication using levofloxacin or cephalosporin antibiotics can be employed. After anti-inflammatory treatment, recovery usually occurs within about a week. During treatment, it is important to maintain a light diet and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Drinking more water and urinating frequently can help flush out negative exudates and blood clots from the bladder.
