More info about Cystitis
About cystitis
Is cystitis a urinary tract infection (UTI)?
Yes, cystitis is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI). The difference between the two is that UTI is a broad term for any infection in the urinary tract, whereas cystitis is specifically an infection of the bladder.
In other words, all cases of cystitis are UTIs, but not all UTIs are cystitis.
What causes cystitis?
Cystitis is most commonly caused by bacteria, such as E. coli, entering the bladder through the urethra. This usually happens when wiping from back to front, sexual activity, and when inserting tampons.
Other causes include irritation from harsh soaps, certain medications, or pelvic radiotherapy.
Is cystitis an STI?
No, cystitis is not a sexually transmitted infection (STI). While sexual activity can sometimes increase the risk of developing cystitis, the condition itself is not spread during sex.
However, sexual activity can make it more likely to happen, and sex when you have cystitis may be uncomfortable and make symptoms worse. That’s why most doctors strongly advise against sex when your infection is active.
About cystitis treatments
Do I have to finish the full course of treatment?
Yes, even if symptoms improve, you must finish the full course of cystitis treatment prescribed.
That’s because most cystitis treatments, like Trimethoprim and Nitrofurantoin, are antibiotics. If these treatments are not taken for the full course, you risk the infection coming back.
How long does cystitis last with treatment?
If you treat your infection early, you can expect relief from symptoms within 2-3 days. However, not everyone responds to treatment the same way, and your infection may take longer to clear.
Keep in mind that stopping treatment early can cause your infection to come back, even if your symptoms have cleared.
Do cystitis treatments cause any side effects?
Yes, some antibiotic treatments for cystitis can cause side effects such as nausea, vomiting, or diarrhoea. These are usually short-lived and rarely serious, but not always.
For a full list of potential side effects, mild and serious, consult the patient information leaflet that comes with your medication.
About managing cystitis
Can I manage cystitis naturally?
Some lifestyle habits and herbal remedies may support bladder health, but cystitis is usually best treated with prescription medication.
Always consult a healthcare professional for proper diagnosis so you can treat your condition in the safest and most efficient way possible.
Does cystitis go away on its own?
While some mild cases may resolve on their own, it’s still important to speak with a doctor so you can discuss the best way to treat your particular case.
Doing so can avoid complications, like the infection spreading to the kidneys, and helps you resolve your symptoms as fast as possible.
Is cystitis contagious?
No, cystitis is not contagious, meaning it cannot be spread through physical contact.
The only way to catch cystitis is through bacteria, such as E. coli, entering your bladder via the urethra.
