How to eliminate cystitis during pregnancy?
For treatment, you must contact your urologist. It will be necessary to pass tests: a general analysis of urine, analysis according to Nechyporenko, bacteriological examination of urine. First of all, the doctor is interested in the number of leukocytes. The more of them, the more pronounced the inflammatory process. To determine which antibiotics will work most effectively, bacterial culture is applied. In order for the test results to be most reliable, you need to properly collect the urine - in a sterile container, having thoroughly cleaned it before. This is necessary so that vaginal secretions do not get into the urine. For treating cystitis, doctors most often prescribe antibiotics that are allowed during pregnancy. An incorrectly chosen remedy can harm the fetus. Therefore, you can not pick up the pills on their own. In addition, therapeutic herbal teas can be prescribed. They should be drunk strictly according to the instructions. During the treatment of cystitis, you should try to consume as much warm drink as possible, as well as refrain from spicy food and alcohol.
