What is postcoital cystitis, what are its manifestations, what is the treatment and prevention?
The main symptoms of cystitis
Symptoms of a particular inflammation are not noticedit is impossible, because they manifest themselves immediately after intimacy or a day after it.

Often, and such cases that the disease manifests itself every time after sexual intercourse.

The causes of postcoital cystitis
There are several reasons for the appearance of postcoital cystitis in women.
Symptoms of postcoital cystitis
How does postcoital cystitis manifest itself? Cystitis has the following symptoms:
The causative agents of this disease arevarious bacteria (staphylococci, E. coli, streptococci, enterococci), viruses (herpes simplex). Culprits can become specific pathogens (mycoplasma, ureaplasma, gonococcus, chlamydia and others). Very often, cystitis is accompanied by sexual infections, which is why it is not unreasonable to check for sexually transmitted diseases during the examination.
How is cystitis treated?
Treatment of cystitis is as follows: In the perineal region, you can apply a heating pad, for a short period of time, heat will help get rid of unpleasant sensations. The treatment of bacteria occurs with antibiotics. It is important to note that, even if all the symptoms of the disease are removed, it can return again. If the cystitis treatment is absent or not completed, then the disease can go to a chronic degree, then the symptoms begin to manifest themselves even more strongly and more actively and the pain becomes simply unbearable. The treatment of such a stage is much more complicated and requires a longer time. Acute cystitis is cured with general antibiotics. Duration of treatment and dosage are prescribed only by a doctor. It is important to know that the herbs can not cure this disease, they can be used only as an additional remedy during treatment. The diuretic effect is possessed by the following medicinal plants: mint, leaves of bearberry, kidney, oregano and others. When cystitis is very useful is the cranberry, this berry is considered a good antibacterial. When an infection occurs, it is advised to drink as much as possible, so it is good not to drink water, but various broths or, for example, cranberry juice. Treatment of postcoital cystitis includes detailed diagnosis of the genitourinary system. During the examination, you will have to pass several tests (urine, sowing, swab), make ultrasound and undergo an examination of the gynecologist. Only after a complete examination the doctor will be able to prescribe the correct treatment, taking into account all signs of the manifestation of the disease. Especially do not forget that during the treatment will need antibiotics, which can not be selected independently. After all, improper application can lead to complications, and not every drug is able to fight precisely with the bacterium that has become a causative agent of cystitis. Medicinal products are selected individually, taking into account the symptomatic picture of a particular patient. It is worth noting that the universal remedy against postcoital cystitis for women has not yet been invented. Due to the onset of the disease due to anatomical abnormalities, treatment will involve surgery. With a mild anomaly often resort to the use of a course of antibiotics in small doses after intimate proximity.
Restrictions in the treatment of cystitis
Any treatment includes a number ofrestrictions. Treatment in this case is not the cause. The list of restrictions first of all includes the sexual life of a sick woman. This is necessary in order to prevent additional irritation of the mucosa and enhance the symptoms of the disease. Sex in this case can significantly delay the process of recovery. Do not forget that the antibiotics used contribute to the disruption of microflora, which contributes to the development of bacteria. If the occurrence of cystitis was not caused by sexual infections, then inherently sex can well be tolerated. After all, this is not a contagious disease and the partner will not be able to get them sexually. Most often during cystitis, sexual life is not forbidden, but is postponed until the symptoms manifest themselves most acutely, most often sex is contraindicated at the very beginning of treatment. When treatment begins to give results and symptoms recede, partners can return to active sexual life, they should not forget about sexual hygiene, prevention at this time is needed most.
How to avoid re-infection
If with the process of treatment everything has fallen into its ownplaces, it can be surgery or antibiotics, then what can I do to avoid re-infection? Prevention of postcoital cystitis includes compliance with simple but very important rules:
It is for the reason that the female bodyis more likely to appear postcoital cystitis, young girls should already be taught in advance to the proper observance of personal hygiene. Mums need to explain that it is worth dabbling at least twice a day (in the morning and in the evening). To wash the genitals it is undesirable to use sponges or sponges, you just need to wash yourself with a hand, and do not use soap. It is better if it is a special tool for intimate hygiene with a neutral pH. The habit of changing underwear every day should also be vaccinated by moms from childhood. It is best to wear cotton panties, synthetics are contraindicated. Unwanted leggings and tight jeans, at least for daily wear they just do not suit. It is very important to note that timely discharge of the bladder plays one of the main roles. Often one has to observe the fact that girls try to avoid public toilets. They often suffer and go to the toilet exclusively at home. Interestingly, even such an apparently innocent habit can cause infection in the urinary tract. To be tolerated it is impossible in any case. The appearance of postcoital cystitis can be triggered by the onset of an intimate sex life. Quite often the first sexual contact can result in the appearance of cystitis. And this is another fact in favor of protected sex.
