Home Remedies for Cystitis.
At some point in life, most of us will experience a urinary tract infection (UTI), commonly
referred as a bladder infection or Cystitis.
The term 'cystitis' refers to inflammation of the urinary bladder. The recurrence of cystitis may,
in some cases, be associated with kidney troubles.
The patient complains of an almost continual urge to void and a burning sensation on passing
urine. There may be a feeling of pain in the pelvis and lower abdomen. The urine may become
thick, dark, and stringy. It may have an unpleasant smell and may contain blood or pus. Some
pain in the lower back may also be felt in certain cases. In an acute stage, there may be a rise
in body temperature. In the chronic form of cystitis, the symptoms are similar but generally less
severe and longer lasting, and without a fever.
Cystitis may result from infections in other parts connected with or adjacent to the bladder
such as the kidneys, the urethra, the vagina, or the prostate gland. There may be local
irritation and inflammation in the bladder if urine is retained there for an unduly long time.
Cystitis may also result from severe constipation. Other conditions like an infected kidney,
stones in the kidneys or bladder, or an enlarged prostate may also lead to this disorder.
