OT- cystitis!!

Hey ladies, anyone got any tips on how to get rid of it??? I get it a lot and no amount of antibiotic, cranberry or powder sachets work anymore. So was wondering if anyone had any other tips. Its agonising! ‘(

I suffered with it for years untill my aunt told me to take a probiotic multi mitamin everyday and for about 9 months I haven’t had anything since…! Not gonna help much now but once u get rid of this round try taking them daily and c if it helps? Worth a try x

Ill give anything a shot to try stop me from getting the bugger! Thanks hun x

Cut out sugar in ur diet. Ive got a condition called interstitial cystitis. Have to avoid sugar and and fruit juices because sugar gets stuck on the lining of the bladder and is a breeding ground for bacteria xx

Tbf i am a sugar-holic must cut down! Thanks girls x

i get that lots, its so horrid, i get all cold and hate being around people when i have it, nothing works for me apart from antibiotics and wish u cld buy them over the counter instead of having to have the hassle of getting app with doc etc. cranberry juice never worked for me. i feel your pain!

omgg i use to get this SO much & it turned into a kidney infection a few times its soo awful aint it, even wearing too tight jeans could give me it!! nothin worked for me either apart from a hot water bottle, and apparently keep ur feet warm and alleviated, lol imagine me with a hot water bottle between my legs n my legs propped up the wall! and try to increase ur daily water intake

i no exactly what u mean about u hate bein around people when u have it ellestar! xx

Aww bless you its horrible isnt it! Yeah my doctor wont give me antibiotics without a urine test, so you end up in agony for days before they even give u the antibiotics (which dont always work for me). Sitting on a hot water bottle is the only relief i get. Might try what the other girls have mentioned, my diet SUCKS. xx

I went through 2 years of constant cystitis it was hell!! Had all the medication too but my body becaame resistant too them. Just drink lots of water, avoid teas and coffees as well as that can aggravate things, don’t bath either, shower as when you bathe water enters the urethra and can cause infections and irritation same goes for when you wash be careful as some stuff can irritate and cause it as well.

If you get it often, then discuss possibility of going on a low dose of trimethoprim for 3-6 months, one tablet every night. That is some times all it takes and it will help everything settle down, if all else fails be investigated like I was, i really know how you feel it is the worse feeling in the world!

I have it now and my ops in 2 1/2 weeks!? I’m taking the sachets and they are disgusting! And also drinking cranberry nice. Will I still be able to have my op if it hasn’t gone ?? Xx

I’d get to the doctors cllxox and get some antibiotics to clear it up xx
