Please help!! cystisis

by 1amy01, Jun 07, 2008 07:39AM
Hello! I have been getting cystisis symptoms for nearly 2 years now! I have seen a urology consultant and they can't find a reason for it! I get cystisis about 4 times a week. Every time i do a urine sample it shows no bacteria are present. I also have crohns diease and IBS which are both under control. I have had X rays scans and a camera into my bladder but the consulant says they are all negative. I have also tried to drink loads of water and cranberry juice and tablets. I just dont know what else i could do? Its really getting me down and i cant go anywhere or do anything! PLEASE HELP!!

Hi 1amy01,

How are you? I’m sorry to hear about your recurrent cystitis. In most cases, there is no apparent reason why cystitis recurs. You are right to drink lots of fluids. Good hygiene, wiping from front to back after you pass a stool and cotton underwear also help in preventing cystitis. It is also advisable for prompt treatment of each bout of cystitis or antibiotic prophylaxis.

I hope this helps. Take care and keep us posted.
