CYSTITIS – CONCLUSION
For those women who suffer attacks following infrequent intercourse, a dose of antibiotics at the time might relieve distress.
You can quickly relieve any uncomfortable symptoms by drinking plenty of water, by making up barley water or by obtaining potassium citrate in its various forms from the chemist. But you should still see your doctor and take antibiotics in the correct dose for the correct length of time to get rid of any infection.
Many women who suffer from frequency and irritation will not show evidence of infection in the bladder and, therefore, cannot be said to suffer from cystitis, although the symptoms are the same. Many of these women have been labelled as neurotic and tranquillisers prescribed.
Examination of the urethra and bladder may reveal the true diagnosis or it may rest on the history alone. They suffer from what is more correctly called the urethral syndrome.
Symptoms may be precipitated by intercourse.
This condition often responds to dilatation or stretching of the urethra — a simple procedure which can be easily done in the doctor’s rooms.
Certainly you do not have to put up with repeated discomfort, as proper treatment is available.
