Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder resulting in irritation, redness and swelling in the bladder area. In most cases, the cause of cystitis is a urinary tract infection (UTI). UTIs typically occur when bacteria outside the body enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply. Most cases of cystitis are caused by a type of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria.
Cystitis may be acute in which the infection may last for few weeks or two depending on the cause of infection, the intensity of infection and patients’ immune status. Recurrent cystitis is observed in patient’s where the cause remains untreated. Chronic cystitis has lasting episodes of inflammation of the bladder that may last for weeks or months.
Homeopathy can treat acute, chronic and recurring cystitis. Homeopathy treats cystitis in two ways. Firstly it treats the infection and secondly, it improves the general health of the sufferer so as to avert further infections.
