Chronic cystitis is a very unpleasant disease that can turn your life into a constant vicious circle of treatment and relapses. The active phase of the disease greatly affects the quality of your life and does not allow you to do normal activities.
Life with chronic cystitis can really turn into hell if you don't take action in time. What should you do if you are tired of fighting cystitis and no antibiotics help? You need to act according to the following plan.
- Check hormonal balance and rule out sex hormone deficiency
Not everyone knows that cystitis often comes with menopause. And you may not even have guessed that this period has already come. In addition, the disease often occurs against the background of other hormonal disorders: hypothyroidism, excess prolactin, lack of fats.
- Check your gut health
There is a rule: bad flora in the intestine indicates exactly the same flora in the vagina. It makes sense to get an E. coli test.
- Rule out GI disease
Diseases of the pancreas, malfunction of the gallbladder, gastritis - all this can provoke the development of inflammatory processes and a sharp increase in bacteria first in the intestine, and then in the vagina.
- Think about what you're eating
It is better to minimize the amount of foods that cause inflammation: these are baked goods, sweets, carbonated lemonades, alcohol and fried foods.
- Assess your stress level
The fact is that too active production of cortisol weakens the resources of your entire body. Along with this, the immunity of the genitourinary tract also decreases. In addition, stress can also affect the hormonal balance.
Symptoms of cystitis:
- frequent urges to empty the bladder, which often do not produce urine;

- lower abdominal pain radiating to the groin, lower back, inside the abdomen;
