Some tips can effectively help to prevent the development of cystitis:
(1) To keep the genital area clean and try to wash this area frequently with warm water.
(2) To remember to wipe from front to back, which may reduce the chance of introducing bacteria from the rectal area to the urethra.
(3) To increase the intake of fluids, which allows frequent urination to flush the bacteria from the bladder.
(4) To urinate immediately after sexual intercourse may help eliminate certain types of bacteria that may have been introduced during intercourse.
(5) Refraining from urinating for long periods of time may allow bacteria to have time to multiply, so frequent urination reduces the risk of cystitis in those who are prone to urinary tract infections.
(6) To drink cranberry juice can prevent certain types of bacteria from attaching to the wall of the bladder and may lessen the chance of infection.
(7) If cystitis happens, using herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill is the best treatment.
