Symptoms of acute cystitis are quite unpleasant:frequent, painful urination, pain in the bladder. Urine becomes turbid and gets a sharp smell, the temperature often rises to 37.5 degrees. The disease is accompanied by a general malaise and weakness. In most cases, cystitis is caused by pathogenic bacteria (mainly - E. coli), less often - fungi, chlamydia or ureaplasma. Factors contributing to the development of the disease are inflammatory diseases of the genital organs, stagnation in the pelvic area (for example, with sedentary work, wearing tight clothes), chronic constipation, metabolic disorders. In women, this disease is diagnosed much more often than in men - it is associated with anatomical features; many of them begin to suffer from cystitis during the menopause. If untimely started or incomplete treatment, he can go into chronic form.
An impetus to the development of cystitis can servehypothermia, and the consumption of a large amount of spicy or salty foods. Since the bladder mucosa is inflamed with this disease, a special diet should be observed: with cystitis, avoid eating foods that can exacerbate its irritation. Patients with cystitis should, first of all, completely exclude salt and spices from the diet. You can not use broths and canned food, mushrooms, cakes and pastries. Diet, thus, should be milk-vegetable, with the addition of small amounts of eggs, low-fat meat and fish. They should only be cooked or steamed, roasting is forbidden. Strict "taboo" - alcohol and carbonated drinks. Of vegetables, cucumbers are most useful, and tomatoes, on the contrary, are contraindicated. It is also good to eat watermelons. Drink should be as much as possible: a diet for cystitis requires the use of at least 1.5 liters of fluid daily. Showed herbal decoctions, cranberry juice, compotes of dried fruits.
In the treatment of acute and chronic cystitistraditionally used medicinal plants: sporish, field horsetail, corn (stigma). They have a diuretic and disinfectant effect. Especially effective is the decoction of the plant, whose popular name is "bear ears" (bearberry): in cystitis it can significantly alleviate pain. It has a bitter taste, so many avoid it, preferring other herbs. But this is completely in vain: the broth of bearberry greatly accelerates recovery. The urine can be painted green - this is not dangerous.
Хорошо помогает и клюква:with cystitis from her prepare mors. To do this, take a glass of cranberries and a half cup of sugar per half liter of water. Squeeze out the berries juice, then pour them with water and boil for 5 minutes. Then sugar is added to the broth, and juice is poured into it only after cooling, in order to preserve the useful substances as much as possible. In a day it is desirable to drink at least two glasses of cranberry juice. The diet for cystitis, therefore, has two purposes: to exclude irritation of the bladder and to "wash" the urinary ways to accelerate recovery.
Главной задачей при этом заболевании является не only an early cure of the patient, but also a prevention of the development of chronic cystitis. For this, you should always follow all the prescription of the doctor and strictly adhere to the diet. You should not treat acute cystitis yourself: in many cases, this disease requires antibiotics. In the early days of the disease, bed rest is shown. The patient usually recovers after 5-10 days, but the diet for cystitis, in particular, acute, should be observed for at least 2-3 weeks - even after the disappearance of the symptoms of the disease.
