Medications that a doctor may prescribe

Antimicrobial agents or antibiotics for cystitis with blood are prescribed to almost everyone, because the inflammatory process of bacterial etiology is treated only with antibiotic therapy. It is appropriate to use such drugs in this group:

Monural is an antibacterial drug based on fosfomycin, which is known for its pronounced antimicrobial properties against most microorganisms that cause urinary tract infections. Monural with cystitis with blood is often prescribed without waiting for the results of a urinalysis, which is associated with the versatility of the drug: it is taken once in the amount of one package (3 g) during an acute attack of the inflammatory process. Chronic inflammation is not treated with Monural. Possible side effects: vulvovaginitis in women, headache, dizziness, digestive disorders.

Furadonin for cystitis with blood is used to eliminate a bacterial infectious agent, since it is an excellent uroantiseptic. Prerarat is taken immediately after meals, 100 mg in the morning and evening, for a week. Furadonin is prescribed to children from 12 years of age. Possible side effects: nausea, headache, drowsiness, hypersensitivity reactions.

Nolicin (Norfloxacin) is an antimicrobial agent with a wide range of activity, belonging to the 2nd generation fluoroquinolones. Nolicin with cystitis with blood helps even with the resistance of the pathogen to antibiotic therapy. Assign 400 mg of the drug twice a day, for 3-10 days, depending on the complexity of the disease. Treatment may be accompanied by gastrointestinal disorders, neuropsychiatric and skin reactions, headache, abdominal cramps, irritability.

If necessary, the course can be repeated after 2 weeks. In pediatrics, the drug is not used.

Rulid is a macrolide antibiotic, a drug of roxithromycin. Refers to low-toxic drugs. Rulid is taken every 12 hours at 150 mg, but this dosage can be changed by the doctor depending on the characteristics of the course of the disease. Possible side effects: weakness, skin rashes, diarrhea, melena, transient numbness of the hands and feet.

Hemostatic drugs for cystitis with blood are not always prescribed, but only if there is an obvious source of bleeding. The following medicines are considered the safest and fastest acting:

Dicinon - the drug etamsylate - is an antihemorrhagic agent. Dicynon for cystitis with blood is administered intravenously or intramuscularly, at an optimal daily dose of 10-20 mg / kg of body weight, 3-4 times. The daily dose for children is ½ of the adult dosage. Side effects are usually mild and transient: abdominal pain, dizziness, hot flashes, allergic reactions.

Water pepper extract is a hemostatic herbal preparation that can be used by adults and children from 12 years of age. The extract is taken 35 drops up to 4 times a day, half an hour before meals. There is a small chance of developing side effects in the form of headache, nausea, and an allergic reaction.

Herbal tablets are often prescribed for cystitis with blood, which act gently and effectively, while combining safety and the minimum number of possible side effects:

Cystone is an adjunct in urinary tract infections. Especially indicated in the presence of bladder stones, as well as to accelerate the excretion of uric acid. Cyston is taken orally, adults - 2 tablets, and children from 12 years old - 1 tablet 2-3 times a day, for several weeks. Side effects are expressed in skin rashes, gastrointestinal disorders, lumbar pain.

Kanefron is a water-alcohol extract from medicinal plants, it can be produced in the form of a solution or dragee. Kanefron with cystitis with blood is taken in the amount of two tablets three times a day (children from 6 years old - one tablet three times a day). Adult patients take the solution in the amount of 50 drops three times a day, and children - 15-25 drops in the morning, afternoon and evening. After the subsidence of painful symptoms, it is recommended to continue taking the remedy for another 14-30 days.

Take the remedy between meals, in the amount of 3 g of granular powder in 1/3 cup of water. The tool is taken once. Repeated intake of Monurel is allowed, but not earlier than one day after the first intake. Possible side effects: digestive disorders, skin rashes.

Vitamins

In addition to diet and basic treatment for cystitis with blood, vitamins are very important. They help restore damaged tissues, strengthen the immune system, improve microflora. On the advice of a doctor, you can start taking complex multivitamin supplements, or try to get the necessary nutrients from food.

The following vitamins are of great importance in the successful treatment of cystitis:

  • Ascorbic acid is especially effective if the inflammation is caused by E. Coli entering the urethra. Vitamin C is taken in an amount of 0.5 g twice a day.
  • Vitamin A is important for the full cellular repair of the walls of the urinary organ. With cystitis with blood, this vitamin is consumed in the amount of 25 thousand IU per day.

To eliminate the inflammatory process, zinc is needed, which can further prevent the development of relapses of the disease. It is useful to add echinacea to vitamins and zinc - for example, in the form of tincture. This tool will make the immune system stronger, so that the disease will quickly recede.

Physiotherapy treatment

Physiotherapy may consist of the following procedures:

  • laser and short-pulse electrical anesthesia;
  • laser treatment and magnetotherapy;
  • microwave, UHF;
  • application of sinusoidal modulated currents;
  • endovesical phonophoresis.

In the process of physiotherapy, a combination of sinusoidal modulated currents with electrophoresis gives a good effect: this allows you to slow down painful impulses from a damaged organ. SMT electrophoresis procedures are used in relation to patients suffering from a chronic form of inflammation.

Laser therapy, ultrahigh-frequency therapy, ultrasound are used in the latent course of the disease at the recovery stage.

Is it possible to heat cystitis with blood?

Thermal exposure really helps to eliminate the main painful symptoms and is often used for cystitis. But is it possible to use dry or moist heat in the release of blood into the cavity of the bladder? Doctors say unequivocally: before diagnosing and finding out the exact source of bleeding, thermal procedures are contraindicated. Even the slightest warming up can provoke severe acute bleeding, which is absolutely impossible to allow.

So, is it possible to use a heating pad for cystitis with blood? It is impossible until such a procedure is allowed by the attending doctor.

A bath, sauna and even a hot bath with cystitis with blood are also contraindicated: it is only allowed to take a warm shower, additionally wash yourself with warm solutions of furatsilin or potassium permanganate, infusions of chamomile or sage. Other water procedures should be agreed with the doctor.

Treatment at home

Even at home, it is better to carry out combined treatment - be sure to take medication and do the procedures prescribed by the doctor, supplementing them with some alternative treatment methods. If you try to treat cystitis with blood exclusively with “grandmother's” recipes, then you can add problems to yourself: the disease is easily complicated by renal pathologies, up to general intoxication and sepsis.

Patients should understand the essence of the disease, pay special attention to the importance of preventing dehydration and timely emptying of the urea.

All patients should be aware of the need for antibiotic therapy, without which it is almost impossible to completely cure infectious cystitis.

The diet becomes no less mandatory: salty, spicy, irritating foods, alcohol, coffee are excluded (preferred diet table No. 10). Provides fluid intake to maintain the required daily diuresis in the amount of 2-2.5 liters.

Phytotherapy for cystitis with blood does not carry a significant independent load. However, medicinal plants can be used as an auxiliary method at the recovery stage.

Alternative Treatment

The main method of alternative treatment is the heating of the projection area of the bladder with warm compresses, heating pads, saline bags. Warming up is repeated for 5 minutes every hour, until a stable improvement in the condition. It is believed that thermal procedures have an antispasmodic property, therefore, they help to quickly alleviate the painful symptoms of cystitis. However, with obvious bleeding, heat cannot be used: you must first consult a doctor.

It is recommended to drink cranberry juice, cranberry juice. This berry prevents the adhesion of pathogenic microorganisms to the mucous tissue of the bladder, which contributes to a speedy recovery.

And another folk recipe. Mix equal amounts of black radish juice and honey. Drink the remedy for 1 tbsp. L. Three times a day. The duration of such treatment is from three to four weeks.

They do baths and washings with chamomile, for 10-20 minutes every evening, until the painful symptoms are eradicated.

In order to warm the bladder, a woolen scarf is also used, which is applied to the lower abdomen. This method of warming is great if used at night.

Additionally, you can use medicinal plants.

Herbal treatment

One of the most common herbs used to treat cystitis is dill. Known to all greens, together with seeds, has pronounced cleansing, bactericidal and regenerating properties. Dill is most often taken in the form of an infusion or decoction:

  • dill seeds are ground into powder, 1 tbsp. L. Powder pour 250 ml of boiling water and insist in a thermos for several hours (optimally - 2.5 hours), drink 100 ml twice or thrice a day;
  • the seeds are poured with boiling water (1 tablespoon per 250 ml of water) and kept on low heat for 10 minutes, after which they are filtered and taken ½ cup up to five times a day.

In addition to dill, chamomile infusion helps with cystitis with blood. Pour 1 tbsp. L. Chamomile color 250 ml of boiling water, insist under the lid for a quarter of an hour, filtered. Take a third cup three times a day.

If cystitis is not associated with kidney disease, then it can be cured with bearberry leaves. One tablespoon of raw materials is poured into 200 ml of boiling water, kept for half an hour in a water bath, filtered and cooled. Drink the drug 1 tbsp. L. Up to six times a day, between meals. Store the medicine in the refrigerator.

A positive effect is noted if cystitis with blood is treated with lingonberry leaves. Take one tablespoon of crushed leaves, pour 250 ml of boiling water, keep under the lid for an hour. Drink 100 ml three times a day half an hour before meals.

Other well-known plants are also used for cystitis - for example, sage, violet, mint, rhizome and dandelion leaves, fireweed, marshmallow rhizome or St. John's wort.

Homeopathy

Homeopathic medicines are prescribed taking into account the characteristics of the disease of a particular patient: for example, the form of cystitis, its etiology, primary or secondary pathology, as well as some individual characteristics of the patient himself are taken into account.

  • Aconitum helps with the acute stage of cystitis with blood, which is accompanied by signs of intoxication, burning pain in the urinary tract, painful problematic urination - including in children.
  • Apis is prescribed for cloudy and bloody urine, as well as for general symptoms such as drowsiness, stupor, and swelling.
  • Arsenicum is used to treat chronic inflammation in which pus and blood are found in the urine.
  • Belladonna helps with an acute process with manifestations of hypersensitivity in the urea.
  • Cantharis is used to eliminate unbearable spasmodic pain in the urethra and perineum, with a drip of urine with blood.
  • Dulcamara is used for small amounts of foul-smelling and cloudy urine with red or light mucus. The condition worsens in cool weather.

There are other equally valuable homeopathic remedies - for example, many patients are helped by Berberis vulgaris, Calcarea, Camphor, Carbo vegetabilis. But any of these medicines is prescribed according to the relevant indications and in individual dosages, which is evaluated by a homeopathic doctor during a consultation.

Surgery

The surgical treatment of cystitis with blood is mentioned only in a few cases:

  • with urolithiasis, when it becomes necessary to remove the source of constant irritation of the mucous tissue;
  • in tumor processes, when it is necessary to remove a benign or malignant tumor that destroys tissues and blood vessels and promotes bleeding;
  • with anatomical defects of the urethra.

Surgical elimination of anatomical defects is prescribed according to individual indications and is a small plastic surgery of the urethral canal - for example, transferring the external opening of the urethra, giving it a higher position to prevent regular infection. Such an intervention does not require a long recovery period and is even performed on an outpatient basis. Although it is preferable that the patient is under medical supervision for at least 1-2 days.

For the operation, self-absorbable sutures are used, the postoperative period is usually fleeting. The patient comes for a follow-up check to the surgeon 1-2 times. As a rule, after the intervention, relapses of cystitis no longer bother.
