What causes symptoms such as: bloating, gas, frequent urination

Inflammation of the bladder is a very unpleasant and painful disease. In acute forms of this disease, a person feels terrible pain and the inability to lead a normal lifestyle. If urinary tract inflammation is not treated promptly, the disease can spread throughout the body, affecting almost all internal organs. Therefore, at the slightest manifestation of malaise and pain, we advise you to immediately consult a doctor.

It is believed that the female half of humanity suffers most from inflammation of the urinary canal. This is true. Women, due to their body structure, are more susceptible than men to infectious diseases and colds.

Diagnosis of frequent urination

The doctor analyzes the patient's complaints and prescribes appropriate tests. It can be:

· blood test (biochemical or general);

· blood test for hCG (to determine pregnancy);

· glucose tolerance test (to exclude diabetes mellitus);

Traditional Tibetan methods of determining a diagnosis: pulse diagnosis, questioning and examination, along with the above methods, allow us to obtain the most complete information about the disease.

How to make a correct diagnosis

Before starting treatment, it is important to correctly differentiate the disease. For this, the following diagnostic methods are used:

1. 
   Bacterial urine culture and Nechiporenko analysis can identify the pathogen.

2. An abdominal ultrasound is performed to monitor structural changes in the organs of the genitourinary system.
3. If a spinal column infection is suspected, an x-ray is taken.
4. MRI and CT determine the development of tumors.
5. Analysis of a smear from the genital organs for microflora.
6. General blood and urine analysis.

The characteristics of pain can tell a lot about the cause of its occurrence. You need to listen to your feelings and tell your doctor about them.

Acute pyelonephritis causes dull pain, accompanied by high fever, pain during urination, and general malaise. Aching or pulling sensations occur with glomerulonephritis, progressive cramping in the lower back and groin indicates blockage of the urethra with a stone.

Treating Frequent Urination

Depending on the diagnostic results and the final diagnosis, doctors at the Naran clinic use various treatment methods

, considering that any manifestations of the disease are, first of all, symptoms of an imbalance of the vital forces of the human body.

Reflexology will restore optimal blood circulation in the pelvic organs.

The use of herbal medicine gives good results in both adults and children

with frequent urination of an infectious nature: Tibetan herbs help harmonize the functioning of the nervous system, increase immunity, relieve inflammation and have a strong antibacterial effect.

To treat frequent urination in men, the clinic may additionally use drugs such as yangeron, cordyceps and others.

Equally important is a change in nutrition - Yin or Yang - depending on the cause of the disease.

For the delicate problem of frequent urination, complex therapy is best suited: a combination of Tibetan acupressure, acupuncture, moxotherapy, stone therapy and other methods, personally selected by an experienced specialist and most effective in such cases.

Pregnancy is a special condition. The news of pregnancy plunges most women into a happy shock. On the one hand, it’s joyful that your body is functioning normally, on the other hand, it’s alarming: will it cope further, is everything going well? Consciousness carefully analyzes more and more new sensations that appear in abundance throughout pregnancy.

In our conversation, I would like to dwell on temporary ailments that can occur in healthy pregnant women and are not signs of disease.

Frequent urination, heavy discharge

is one of the first symptoms a woman encounters after pregnancy. Frequent urination during the day and at night usually alarms inexperienced pregnant women.

“It should be noted that there are no other painful sensations (pain, stinging, burning). These phenomena disappear by the 4th month of pregnancy.

This is caused by significant hormonal changes that accompany pregnancy. The increased level of female sex hormones at first contributes to a significant rush of blood to the pelvic organs. Overflow of blood vessels causes temporary changes in the functioning of the kidneys, ureters, and bladder. These phenomena decrease in the second trimester of pregnancy . However, in the third trimester the problem arises again , which is associated with a significant increase in the size of the uterus and mechanical compression of the bladder. For the same reasons, with the onset of pregnancy, “humidity” in the area of ​​the external genitalia increases. The amount of natural discharge from the genital tract increases. At the same time, they should not cause discomfort, irritation, or a strong smell. This is a light translucent discharge in moderate quantities. You have to come to terms with this, after giving birth everything will return to normal.

Possible causes of lower back pain

Discomfort in the lower back usually occurs after intense physical activity or regular exposure to the cold due to professional activities. Diseases of various organs and systems of the body can also be the causes:

1. Infection of bone tissue, most often with Koch's bacillus. Accompanied by a slight increase in temperature, weakness, pain in all bones and head.
2. Disorders of the musculoskeletal system, including different leg lengths, curvature of the spine.
3. Problems with the gastrointestinal tract - pancreatitis, cholecystitis, appendicitis, disorders of the small intestine.
4. Diseases of the urinary system. Some of them more often affect men, others – women. They are usually accompanied by a general deterioration of the condition and difficulty in the outflow of urine.
5. Inflammation of muscles - myositis. They are triggered by viruses and bacteria, usually due to hypothermia.
6. Overweight.
7. Growth of tumors in the area of ​​nerve fibers of the lower back.
8. Diseases of the genital organs – epididymitis, prostatitis, adnexitis.

A lifestyle analysis and the presence of additional symptoms will more accurately determine the cause of pain.

Pain in the mammary glands

The mammary gland undergoes enormous changes during pregnancy. A significant increase in the level of female sex hormones, as well as the pregnancy hormone (chorionic gonadotropin) prepares the mammary gland for the very responsible process of feeding a child. The breast begins to quickly increase in size, its blood supply increases, and sensitivity increases.

Here I would like to note that this is a very important stage in a woman’s life. A woman who has had pregnancies and childbirth in her life is less susceptible to breast cancer in the future.

This is due to the special development of milk lobules, which occurs only during pregnancy.

It is very important that during pregnancy the heavy mammary glands are in comfortable conditions: you need to purchase a comfortable bra with wide straps, without wires, which slightly lifts the breasts, but does not squeeze them, which facilitates their blood exchange and reduces pain. By 10-12 weeks of pregnancy, the pain will decrease. Starting from the second trimester of pregnancy, you can begin to “harden” your breasts: take air baths, do contrasting wet rubdowns - these activities are the prevention of lactation mastitis.

Additional Possible Causes

In the abdominal cavity, all organs are located close to each other. Therefore, if one organ increases in size, it begins to put pressure on all other organs that are nearby.

The most common reasons that provoke the feeling that the bladder is not completely emptied or that something is pressing on it include:

• inflammation of the bladder walls (cystitis);
• prolapsed uterus or other problems associated with it;
• inflammation or enlargement of the ovary in women or inflammation of the prostate in men. The prostate and ovary can most often put pressure on the bladder.

Bloating, constipation

A noticeable increase in abdominal circumference in the earliest stages of pregnancy, when the uterus is still slightly enlarged, is associated with intestinal bloating. During the digestion process, gas formation always occurs in the intestines. During pregnancy, the intestines become more “lazy,” its peristalsis slows down, and, consequently, the rate of movement of intestinal contents decreases, its bloating increases, and constipation may appear. This is facilitated by hormonal changes characteristic of pregnancy, which leads to an increase in blood supply to the vessels of the abdominal cavity and, as a result, to a slight swelling of the intestinal walls. To ensure that these changes in bowel function do not become persistent and painful, it is necessary to take measures.

“First of all, nutrition should be regular, varied, with a sufficient amount of liquid (1.5 liters), rich in fiber and pectin substances, which make the intestines “move.” To do this, use fresh or lightly boiled vegetables and fruits and juices in your daily diet.

In the first trimester, you should not eat large quantities of legumes, grapes, cabbage, radishes, as well as whole milk, which provoke increased gas formation in the intestines and bloating. Including boiled beets, prunes, figs, and dried apricots in the diet helps increase intestinal motility and facilitates bowel movements. Taking vegetable oil (a teaspoon/tablespoon 30 minutes before meals) also stimulates intestinal motility and helps cope with constipation. It is useful to take a glass of raw cold water with a spoon of honey in the morning on an empty stomach. The intestines are most active in the morning. Try to train your intestines to act in the morning, after breakfast, do not miss even the very weak urge to stool. Taking laxatives during pregnancy is not advisable. If the situation gets out of control, seek help from a doctor.

Pills

Modern pharmacology offers the following tablets for treating bloating at home:

1. Activated carbon, released in tablet form. For flatulence, this medicine is taken on the eve of meals, 1 to 3 pcs. Children under 7 years of age are given 1–2 tablets. Wash them down with regular boiled water;
2. Espumisan and other drugs based on simethicone. Espumisan is taken in the form of capsules or emulsion, two to three times a day with meals, sometimes it is recommended to take this drug additionally before bedtime. Espumisan can also be used to relieve occasional accumulation of gases in the intestines due to poor diet, during the postoperative period, or with constipation.
3. The composition of tablets for bloating called “White Coal” is based on dietary fiber. As they swell, they absorb many toxins and gases. Take them before meals, 1 - 2 pieces.

It should be borne in mind that the above intestinal adsorbents are drugs with surface activity that can absorb gases, but they will not solve the main cause of flatulence. Therefore, such tablets can be used only for symptomatic treatment, in case of dietary disorders: overeating, poisoning, consumption of dairy products with lactose deficiency. The situations listed are not chronic, and flatulence is just an unpleasant symptom that can be easily relieved with an anti-bloating pill.

In addition to urinary symptoms, they often experience abdominal pain and fever with a urinary tract infection. These infections are easily treated with antibiotics. When inflammation is caused by exposure to irritants, this substance should be avoided. Latex catheters are more often associated with this condition than other types of catheter. Patients using a kind of latex and swelling should switch to another material.

Some medical conditions are not caused by bacteria or viruses and may also cause this disease. A good example of this is urethral restriction. This refers to a narrowing of the urethra. In severe cases, the urethra may become closed, making urination difficult. In many cases, the patient may need to have a urinary catheter inserted to help drain the bladder.

Heartburn during pregnancy

This is also quite common, especially in the second half. It occurs due to the reflux of acidic stomach contents into the esophagus. This is due to compression of the stomach by the pregnant uterus and relaxation of the esophageal sphincter.

» General recommendations for heartburn are as follows: eat small portions, but more often; reduce fat content, increase the amount of protein foods in the diet.

During this period, you should not drink coffee, strong tea, chocolate, or citrus juices. Do not eat before bed and do not lie down immediately after eating, do not smoke, avoid tight clothing and tight belts. If heartburn occurs, try drinking some mineral water, eating a small amount of peeled, toasted sunflower seeds or halva - this will most likely ease your condition. It is permissible to use medications for heartburn (for example, Rennie).

Forecast

The prognosis of treatment depends entirely on the nature of the disease and the size of the tumor. Thus, many benign tumors do not require treatment, and the patient can live with them for many decades and not complain about their poor condition.

With malignant neoplasms the picture changes significantly. Diagnosis at stage 1 or 2 and proper treatment in 50-70% of cases give a good result and complete recovery. The prognosis for treatment of stages 3 and 4 is not so optimistic. At the same time, there are good treatment rates even at the last stage of cancer.

What can every person do to protect themselves as much as possible from this terrible disease? First of all, this means regular medical examinations and timely contacting the clinic when the first symptoms appear. In this way, it will be possible to recognize the disease in time and begin an active fight against it.

Haemorrhoids

These are varicose veins in the anus. Pregnancy and childbirth are one of the main factors in the development of hemorrhoids in women who have a congenital tendency to varicose veins. This occurs due to stagnation of blood in the veins of the rectum due to increased intra-abdominal pressure and direct pressure of the uterus on the intestinal walls, a contributing factor being constipation. Varicose veins of the rectum lead to the formation of hemorrhoids, which can cause discomfort in the anus, itching, and bleeding. When hemorrhoids become inflamed, they become severely painful.

“To avoid troubles associated with hemorrhoids, it is necessary to get rid of constipation; it is mandatory to use the toilet in the anus with cold water after each bowel movement.

If pain occurs, it is better to consult a surgeon. It is allowed to use Anestezol and Anuzol suppositories; it is possible to use glivenol capsules internally and procto-glivenol suppositories. An effective herbal remedy for the treatment of hemorrhoids is Ginkor Fort in capsules and suppositories (Ginkor Procto).

Urination - difficult, frequent, painful

Urination is the process of urine outflow by the urinary system. In the event of a malfunction or deterioration in performance, unpleasant sensations arise - burning, frequent urges, pain, bleeding. There are many reasons for this condition.

There are differences in symptoms and factors in the development of the disease between men and women. Anatomical structure of a person, different lengths and widths of the urethral canal. What causes the burning sensation and pain every time you go to the toilet, what diseases cause it, what should be done? Our article is about this and much more.

Decreased blood pressure

A universal phenomenon during pregnancy is a slight decrease in blood pressure (BP). If a woman had low blood pressure before pregnancy, then during pregnancy periodic states of a significant decrease in blood pressure (less than 90/60 mmHg) and, as a consequence of this, weakness, dizziness, headache, and fainting are possible. Deterioration of health usually occurs during prolonged standing, when taking hot baths, during prolonged stay in a stuffy hot room, on an empty stomach.

For pregnant women with a tendency to hypotension, the daily routine is especially important: night sleep 9-10 hours and daytime sleep 1-2 hours. The food should be varied, of high quality, but not very plentiful, with a high content of protein foods. In the morning and afternoon you should drink strong tea and coffee. Prevention of hypotension is morning exercises and physical therapy. Water procedures are useful: showers, douches, contrast foot baths.

The use of natural tonics (tinctures of Chinese lemongrass, samaniha, eleutherococcus, ginseng, aralia, etc.) is indicated; they improve well-being, give vigor, restore performance and sleep. Take them 20-30 drops 3 times a day before meals in courses of 10-14 days (2-3 courses per pregnancy).

“During an attack of hypotension, it is necessary to take a horizontal position (head at heart level), preferably in a cool room; inhaling ammonia vapor, taking 35-40 drops of cordiamine will speed up the improvement of well-being. After you feel better, you need to eat, drink strong tea and coffee.

Basic Concepts

A bladder tumor is a group of abnormal cells that appear in the tissues of the bladder, multiply rapidly and create a tumor. Such cells do not perform any functional functions and block the normal functioning of the organ.

Among all cases of tumors of the urinary system, bladder tumors account for 50-60%. Males are most susceptible to diseases of this type; they develop them 3-4 times more often than women. Speaking about the age category of patients, it should be noted: the largest number of cases were diagnosed in people over the age of 55 years.

Unstable mood, quirks

– a common occurrence during pregnancy. For a pregnant woman, moments of incredible joy may alternate with doubts, anxiety, anxiety, irritability, and fatigue. It is very important that both the woman and people close to her understand that this is all temporary and related to pregnancy. A calm, friendly, family atmosphere, caring relationships, taking herbal sedatives (valerian, motherwort) - all this helps to improve well-being and lift your mood. Women with hypotension are more likely to experience mood swings, so everything that is useful for hypotension is appropriate here (see above).

I would like to end our conversation on an optimistic note. All ailments during pregnancy are temporary. The huge positive emotional charge that the birth of a child carries with it will quickly restore your strength and even increase it. A little time will pass, and you will want to have another child, and another...

Differences between benign and malignant neoplasms

Despite the fact that in medicine there is a division into benign and malignant tumors of the bladder, such differentiation is very conditional. The fact is that many fibromas, hemangiomas, papillomas and other benign tumors eventually degenerate into cancerous tumors.

• Height. Benign formations are characterized by rather slow growth. In addition, the tumor body is limited by a capsule, beyond which pathological cells do not spread. Cancers, on the other hand, tend to grow rapidly. Such a tumor is not limited by anything; its dimensions can theoretically be infinitely large.
• Effect on tissue. During growth, benign formations push adjacent tissues apart, while oncological ones spread to the tissues of the bladder and other organs and destroy them. This process is called metastasis.
• Relapses. After removal, cancerous tumors tend to recur (reappear), while adenomas, fibromas and papillomas rarely reappear.

Description of problems and associated symptoms

Renal colic is a symptom of an advanced stage of urolithiasis. People who have ever experienced it forever remember the severity of its manifestation. Sharp pain is not relieved by conventional medications (analgesics). Only after the administration of narcotic drugs can the pain be temporarily eliminated. However, this approach does not eliminate kidney disease.

Renal colic is caused by blockage of the urinary tract with a large stone, which makes it difficult for urine to pass out. As a result, urine accumulates in the renal pelvis and bladder, causing excessive distension of these organs.

Since the wall of the bladder is “saturated” with pain receptors, you can count on severe pain until the cause of the pathology, the urinary tract stone, is eliminated.

Forms and features of cystitis manifestation

Taking into account the causes of inflammation and the characteristics of its course, the following forms are distinguished:

1. Infectious. The culprit of the problem, in most cases, is E. coli. It disrupts the microflora of the bladder, which is normally sterile, and provokes the development of inflammation.
2. Non-infectious. Sometimes the disease occurs for other reasons and is explained by injuries, allergies, adverse chemical, thermal, and radiation effects.
3. Spicy. In this form, the symptoms manifest themselves especially clearly: the patient experiences excruciating cutting pain in the lower abdomen when trying to pass urine, urination is difficult, and sometimes urine is mixed with blood.
4. Chronic. Cystitis that is not treated or not completely cured can become chronic. Periodically fading and exacerbating again, pain in the lower abdomen and the inability to go to the toilet normally will cause suffering throughout life.

1. lower abdominal pain;
2. frequent, persistent urge to go to the toilet;
3. cutting pain when trying to walk small;
4. inability to completely empty the bladder;
5. Sometimes there is blood in the urine.

1. bladder injury;
2. reduced immunity;
3. hypothermia;
4. hormonal disorders;
5. age-related changes (menopause).

As a result of such conditions, the body weakens and loses its ability to resist infection.

Enlargement of the prosthesis. Catheter placement. After urological surgery. Weakened immune system. Pregnancy. Poor hygiene. Insufficient water consumption.

• Abnormalities of the urinary tract.
• Sexually active people.
• Menopause.
• Diabetes.
• Stones in the kidneys.

Features of PND during pregnancy.
During pregnancy, pronounced dilatation of the renal pelvis and ureters, decreased peristalsis of the ureter, and decreased tone of the bladder are observed. These changes lead to urinary retention and decreased protection against bacterial reflux in the kidneys. Asymptomatic bacteriuria occurs in 4-7% of pregnant women. If left untreated, it can lead to preeclampsia, premature birth, and stillbirth.

Therefore, the likelihood of developing cystitis increases.

Sometimes pain in the lower abdomen and difficulties when trying to go to the toilet in a small way appear as a consequence of existing diseases: urolithiasis or cancer. In this case, cystitis is considered secondary and treatment of the underlying disease is first required.

Training is carried out 1-2 weeks after completion of therapy, then once a month until the end of pregnancy. Tetracyclines, fluoroquinolones, sulfonamides are contraindicated. Treatment of acute cystitis is carried out in a rapidly changing regimen, in a liquid diet, drinking plenty of hot liquids, in procedures with warm water. Antibiotics, chemotherapeutic agents, antispasmodics and painkillers are used. In case of positive urine, treatment is an antibiotic and other medicines are herbal teas, especially Polish horseradish, and a break of at least 10 days.

Kidney stones: symptoms and pathogenesis of urolithiasis

Symptoms of kidney stones are observed in half of the country's population. Pain syndrome does not always indicate a disease. Some people do not realize that there are stones in the urinary tract. Only when a stone clogs the urinary duct and causes pain when urinating is a diagnosis of urolithiasis made.

The age of patients who show signs of kidney stones is from 20 to 60 years. In children, pathology practically does not occur.

• Severe pain in the lower abdomen;
• Nausea and vomiting;
• Attacks of pain on the right or left in the lower back;
• Urinary problems;
• Strong and frequent urge to urinate;
• Passage of sand and small stones along with urine;
• Bloating;
• Temperature increase.

Symptoms

Let's highlight the main symptoms of bladder inflammation:

• Frequent urination.
• When urinating, urine comes out in small doses rather than in a stream.
• During the process of urination, urine does not completely leave the body; a small amount remains. This gives rise to the feeling that the patient constantly wants to go to the toilet, even if he has just left there.
• Pain of various types during and after urination.
• Spasmodic pain in the lower abdomen, sometimes accompanied by a burning sensation in the intimate areas.

The disease can occur unnoticed by a person, worsening only when the person is cold or severely hypothermic. Signs of bladder inflammation may appear and disappear after a few days, but this does not mean that the disease has passed. During the next hypothermia of the body, the symptoms will appear again, but with double the pain, and the disease will begin to take on a chronic or acute nature. It is very important, if you feel the slightest deviation in the body, promptly consult a doctor to receive appropriate treatment.

Frequent urination in women at night

The problem of pollakiuria is familiar to many people firsthand. Frequent urination in women during the day can be associated both with natural processes in the body and with various disorders. An increased desire to relieve oneself is considered quite normal during pregnancy and old age, before menstruation or during hormonal changes.

Important indicators of health are the frequency and nature of bladder emptying. Their changes allow us to draw conclusions about the state of the urinary system and identify various diseases. Normally, a person urinates about 7-10 times during the day. Exceeding this amount should cause concern.

Frequent urination in the morning in women can be associated with completely harmless factors. For example, if you drank a lot of liquid before going to bed, or ate watermelon or other diuretic foods. This is observed in pregnant women, with various hormonal changes in the body and when using dysuric medications before bedtime.

If dysfunction occurs with additional symptoms, then this may indicate diseases such as cystitis, urethritis, overactive bladder, adnexitis, pathologies of the cardiovascular system and much more.

Treatment for a painful condition depends entirely on its cause. Thus, infectious and inflammatory pathologies are treated with antibiotics, and for hormonal disorders, replacement therapy is indicated.

As a rule, diarrhea and frequent urination in women are not signs of any pathologies, provided, of course, that there are no additional symptoms. This may be a normal reaction of the body to certain disturbances in its functioning.

If a combination of diarrhea and polyuria makes itself felt over a long period of time, then this may indicate pathologies such as:

• Diseases of the cardiovascular system (heart failure, heart attack).
• Endocrine diseases (diabetes mellitus, diabetes).
• Stones in the urinary tract or kidneys.
• Liver or kidney failure.
• Cystitis.
• Viral or bacterial infections.
• Weakened pelvic floor muscles.
• Overactive Bladder
• Various injuries.

As for the physiological causes of diarrhea and diuresis, this may be:

• Pregnancy.
• Condition before or after menstruation.
• Food or drug poisoning.

Particular attention should be paid to urinary tract infections (UTIs), as they are a typical cause of bladder dysfunction and diarrhea. The mechanism of development of the painful condition is associated with the entry of bacteria into the organ through the urethra. According to medical statistics, about 50-60% of women have experienced a UTI at least once in their lives.

There are certain risk factors for this pathology: irritation and inflammation of the vagina, changes in the structure of the urinary system during pregnancy, various chronic diseases, improper wiping after using the toilet, sexual trauma, hydration and urinary retention for a long time.

To diagnose the cause of the unpleasant condition and eliminate it, you should seek medical help. After a set of various examinations, the doctor will prescribe the correct and effective treatment.

There are many causes for problems such as constipation and frequent urination. Women are most often diagnosed with the following disorders:

• Diabetes mellitus (type 1 and 2).
• Urinary tract infections.
• Stones in the bladder.
• Overactive bladder.
• Infectious kidney lesions.
• Interstitial cystitis
• Thyroid diseases.
• Use of laxatives and diuretics.
• Stress and emotional distress.
• Lack of fiber in the diet.
• Diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
• Eating disorders.
• Haemorrhoids.
• Some medications.

Many people face problems such as flatulence and pollakiuria. Several factors are believed to be the cause of this condition. Abdominal bloating and frequent urination in women are in most cases associated with pathological changes in the genitourinary system.

The daily number of urinations depends on the physiological characteristics of the body and is normally 3-7 times.

Urinating more than 10 times a day is a reason to consult a doctor, even if the process occurs without pain.

Infectious pathogens of female cystitis

Based on medical statistics, about 30 million patients with cystitis are diagnosed in Russia every year. This disease can be detected at any age in all categories of people. But women are more susceptible to bladder inflammation due to the specific anatomical structure of the genitourinary system. The incidence rate in men after 65 years of age is growing rapidly. This is due to the variety of pathogenic microorganisms that act as causative agents of infectious infection of the hollow organ of the excretory system. Before starting a course of therapy, doctors need to identify which infections cause cystitis in women and men.

Etiology of cystitis and characteristic symptoms

To achieve a positive outcome of the therapeutic course, it is necessary to find out which infections cause cystitis in each specific case. Based on the phase of the disease, the disease can be acute or chronic.

Regardless of what infection caused cystitis in a woman or a man, this disease is characterized by mild symptoms in the initial stages of development. As a result, in most cases, treatment begins when there are complications of the disease. Standard signs confirming the presence of an inflammatory process in the bladder include: frequent urination, urine dripping, a feeling of an incompletely emptied bladder, spasmodic pain in the pubic area. As cystitis progresses, patients experience bleeding (hematuria) and sediment in the urine.

The etiology of bladder inflammation can be very diverse. Basically, doctors diagnose the following types of disease:

Etiology of cystitis

Specifics of the infectious disease

The influence of the state of vaginal flora on the bladder

The vaginal microflora contains Candida and ureaplasma fungi. When the genitourinary system malfunctions, active growth of yeast-like microorganisms is first observed, causing thrush. If female candidiasis is not treated, the mucous walls of the excretory organ begin to become inflamed.

Pathogenic microorganisms that cause cystitis can be any. The only main condition is the presence of their pathogenic activity (gardnerella, chlamydia). As for ureaplasma, it is a type of mycoplasma and is characterized by the ability to attach to leukocytes, causing a disruption in their natural functioning. Such interaction with a viral microorganism provokes a decrease in protective reactions.

Doctors note that ureaplasma alone is not capable of causing inflammatory processes in the walls of the bladder. Its viral effect manifests itself when combined with other pathogenic bacteria (chlamydia).

Standard signs of cystitis with this etiology are:

• tingling and burning sensation in the urethra;
• vaginal dryness;
• painful sensations during sexual intercourse;
• cloudy mucous discharge with a strong unpleasant odor.

Inflammation of the excretory organ caused by bacterial vaginosis is a chronic disease accompanied by periods of exacerbation and remissions.

Treatment of infectious vaginal dysbiosis should be based on the understanding that it will not be possible to manage with antibiotics or suppositories alone. In addition to the fact that it is necessary to completely destroy the true causative agent of inflammation of the bladder, it will be necessary to restore the natural microflora of the vagina and increase immunity. For these reasons, the therapeutic course addresses these two areas.

The relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and cystitis

The gastrointestinal tract contains a huge number of bacteria involved in the processes of vitamin synthesis, digestion, and forming local immunity. With the normal functioning of the digestive system, these microorganisms do not come into conflict with each other. However, against the background of a violation of their ratio, inflammatory processes begin. Clinical studies have revealed that cystitis can be triggered by the presence of gram (-) bacteria (Enterobacter, Klebsiella, E. coli) and gram (+) (enterococcus, streptococcus, staphylococcus).

Based on medical statistics, E. coli occupy a leading position as a causative agent of inflammation of the bladder and the most rarely diagnosed cases of disease caused by staphylococcus. In most cases, cystitis develops against the background of such dysbacteriosis with insufficient hygiene rules.

Pathogenic microflora enters the bladder in two ways:

• ascending - from the urethra (diagnosed in most cases of cystitis);
• descending - from the renal pelvis

The relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and cystitis of infectious etiology is explained by the fact that when the digestive tract is upset, the body's resistance to the negative effects of pathogenic bacteria decreases. In combination with other provoking factors, the patient develops cystitis in a chronic form.

Development of bladder inflammation due to sexually transmitted infections

In medical practice, situations often arise when diagnosing cystitis, the causative agent of which is a urogenital infection. In most cases of bladder inflammation with this form of etiology, chlamydia is detected. In this case, the negative impact on the genitourinary system is not direct, but indirect. This means that in the presence of chlamydial infection, the urethra is affected in the initial stages, and then the microflora.

The complexity of this etiology of cystitis lies in the frequent recurrent outbreaks of the disease. This happens due to the fact that chlamydia develops inside the body, being in an atypical state, and negatively manifests itself only in conditions of reduction of protective functions. It is noteworthy that at the end of the therapeutic course, immunity does not recover on its own, and doctors prescribe patients to additionally take immunostimulants.

For these reasons, health professionals emphasize the importance of protection during sexual intercourse. Even if the sexual partner is absolutely healthy, during intimacy he transmits his harmful microorganisms. As a result, the natural pathogenic microflora in a woman’s body may be disrupted.

Respiratory viruses as causative agents of cystitis

The second most common culprit in the development of cystitis after bacterial is the negative impact of viruses. With this etiology, inflammation in the mucous walls of the organ occurs in the presence of the following factors: influenza and parainfluenza viruses, herpes, adenovirus, cytomegalovirus.

Doctors note that the percentage of any pathogen is directly dependent on the prevalence of the disease in the region of residence. For example, during an influenza epidemic, there is a high risk of developing cystitis with the same etiology. This happens due to the fact that inflammatory processes in the hollow organ of the excretory system are secondary.

Depending on the specific pathogen, the symptoms may differ in a certain way from the standard manifestation of the disease. With herpetic inflammation, patients notice characteristic rashes in their genital area, and the urine has a strong unpleasant odor. In most situations when viral cystitis is diagnosed, patients begin to show signs of hematuria resulting from blood circulation in the walls of the bladder. As a result, hemorrhoidal cystitis is characterized by the presence of blood in the urine.

Accordingly, doctors select individual treatment for each specific case, based on the results of laboratory and bacteriological tests. The use of antibiotics alone will not be enough for bladder damage, since viral microorganisms are poorly sensitive to them. In addition, it should be understood that the main provocateur of this form of the disease is a decrease in the protective functions of the human immune system. That is why doctors begin treatment by prescribing immunostimulants. It is also necessary to understand that a patient suffering from a viral infection is contagious to others. In the absence of adequate medication, cystitis of viral etiology quickly turns into a bacterial form.

Conclusion

In cystitis, the infections that provoke it can be very diverse. As medical practice shows, regardless of the etiology of inflammation of the hollow organ of the excretory system, the root cause of its development is a significant decrease in immunity. As a result of a decrease in protective functions, the body of each person becomes vulnerable and sensitive to the action of pathogenic microflora. For this reason, patients should remember about preventive measures in the form of taking vitamin complexes, hardening, and playing sports.

Cystitis is a serious infectious disease, the treatment of which must be carried out under the constant supervision of a qualified specialist. In addition, to achieve a positive outcome in the form of complete recovery, an integrated approach to therapy is required.

Diagnostics

Diagnosis of bladder bloating involves a number of studies, including:

blood chemistry. Used to identify endocrine system disorders and assess kidney function;

The problem can be caused by various diseases, so you need to pay attention to other symptoms that are present. If it is the intestinal wall that is pressing on the bladder, then additional symptoms will be present:

• bloating, flatulence;
• constipation;
• stomach ache;
• heaviness in the stomach.

If at least one of these symptoms is present, then the really unpleasant sensations in the bladder area are most likely caused by the gastrointestinal tract.

blood chemistry. Used to identify endocrine system disorders and assess kidney function;

Treatment is carried out for the immediate cause that caused the disturbance in the outflow of urine. If disorders of the endocrine organs are detected, the treatment of diabetes mellitus is adjusted.

In case of urolithiasis, stones are removed from the lumen of the urinary tract. For this purpose, ultrasound lithotripsy or surgical excision of stones is used.

Treatment of all neoplasms, regardless of their location, is carried out by an oncologist.

In case of strictures (narrowings) of the urethra, its lumen is restored. You can install a stent into the lumen of the urethra or excise the area of ​​narrowing and perform urethroplasty.

Urgent replacement of the catheter is required if it is blocked or kinked. In cases of neurological regulation disorders, the main thing is to treat the underlying process.

After this, they restore bladder function. Recovery is accelerated by physiotherapeutic treatment and herbal treatment.

After installation of the catheter, the patient is urgently hospitalized in a hospital, most often in the urological or surgical department. Treatment of bloating is carried out only under the supervision of a doctor.

In emergency cases, bladder catheterization is performed to drain urine. It refers to emergency measures.

Catheterization can be carried out by installing a catheter through the urethra; if this is not possible, the catheter is installed through the abdominal wall (puncture).

To prevent disturbances in the outflow of urine (bloating) in the postoperative period, a catheter is immediately installed in the patient.

This is done to ensure that the bladder does not overstretch and that nerve sensitivity is restored more quickly.

Non-drug treatment methods include:

• physical therapy classes;
• electrical stimulation;
• thermal applications to the suprapubic area;
• diadynamic currents;
• regulation of drinking regime.

The following should be avoided:

• carbonated drinks;
• chocolate;
• chips;
• instant breakfasts;
• various seasonings and spices;
• strong tea;
• alcoholic beverages;
• sweets.

The following products are recommended:

• vegetables, green salad;
• cabbage;
• pineapples, apples;
• garlic, onion;
• meat, eggs.

The prognosis depends on what disease caused the obstruction of urine outflow.

If you experience gas, bloating, flatulence, or frequent urination, it is recommended to visit a doctor for consultation. There is no specific diagnosis for flatulence, but the doctor will definitely prescribe several research methods to exclude other diseases.

First of all, it is recommended to take urine, blood and feces for a general analysis. A blood test is done to check for celiac disease.

Then an ultrasound examination of the abdominal cavity is prescribed to exclude the development of a tumor. Sigmoidoscopy and colonoscopy are indicated.

Ultrasound examination is mandatory for accurate and correct diagnosis of the disease.

The most popular way to establish the localization of sensations is palpation. In this case, the doctor feels the abdomen from different sides to determine the nature of the deviations. This type of diagnosis can be carried out independently. Care should be taken to avoid complications of the disease or damage to internal organs.

If you feel severe or sharp pain or bloating in the lower abdomen on the right, immediate consultation with a doctor is necessary, since such a symptom often indicates exacerbated forms of the disease.

To make a correct diagnosis, you need to accurately determine the symptoms. It is important not to confuse the feeling of fullness and swelling, stabbing and throbbing, sharp and nagging pain. Often the nature of the sensations determines the disease.

Preparation for ultrasound of the kidneys of the bladder and prostate gland

Have you been trying to cure your KIDNEYS for many years?

Head of the Institute of Nephrology: “You will be amazed at how easy it is to heal your kidneys just by taking it every day...

One of the most progressive and reliable ways to detect diseases of the genitourinary system in men today is ultrasound. Thanks to this diagnostic method, it is possible to prevent many undesirable consequences of kidney, prostate and bladder diseases. But in order for the ultrasound result to be the most reliable, some preparation for this procedure is needed.

4 basic rules of preparation

Preparation for the procedure directly depends on the method of its implementation and the organ that needs to be checked. But there are certain general rules for preparing for a scan of the pelvic organs, the implementation of which will not distort the data.

1. Three days before the ultrasound, cabbage, beets, radishes, onions, and garlic should be excluded from the diet. You should also not eat legumes, pearl barley and millet porridge. For a while you will have to give up berries and nuts, strong coffee, and chocolate. The menu should not include carbonated drinks, dairy or fermented milk products.
2. The study is carried out on an empty stomach. Therefore, do not have dinner the day before; if the study will be carried out in the afternoon, try to allow 9 hours between meals and the procedure.
3. Three days before the procedure, it is undesirable to drink alcohol. You should not smoke the day before the examination.
4. Before starting the procedure, the patient must inform the doctor about the medications he is using.

Ultrasound diagnostics cannot be performed if the patient has recently had an X-ray, colonoscopy or gastroendoscopy. If the patient has open wounds in the examination area, then ultrasound can be done only after healing.

In addition to following general principles, preparation for diagnosing individual organs of the male genitourinary system has its own nuances.

Preparing for a scan of the genitourinary system

An ultrasound examination will be most reliable if, three days before an ultrasound scan of the kidneys and bladder, foods that cause bloating and gas formation are excluded from the menu, since excess gases will not allow the doctor to clearly examine the kidneys. If the patient has digestive problems or a tendency to flatulence, then it is better to switch to this diet a week before the test.

Before ultrasound scanning, it is necessary to cleanse the intestines as much as possible from toxins. If the patient does not suffer from constipation, then there is no need to use laxatives. It is enough to drink activated carbon or other sorbents after meals. Overweight men and those who suffer from constipation should take a mild laxative or put on glycerin suppositories the day before the ultrasound of the kidneys and bladder.

A kidney ultrasound is performed when the bladder is full. To do this, you need to drink at least 1-1.5 liters of water an hour before the procedure. The main thing is not to urinate before the examination. It is good if the patient has the opportunity to arrive for the scan a little earlier and drink the right amount of water on the spot.

Similar preparation is required for scanning the bladder. Just like a kidney ultrasound, this scan is only done when the bladder is full. It is advisable that the last urination be at least 4 hours before the procedure.

Preparing for a prostate ultrasound

Ultrasound of the prostate gland is performed in two ways:

• Transrectally - for diagnosis, a special sensor is inserted into the rectum and the prostate gland is examined through its walls. This method gives the most accurate results;
• Transabdominal - the examination is carried out externally, through the abdominal wall. The results obtained by this diagnostic method allow us to determine only serious changes in the structure of the prostate and large deviations from the norm.

Transrectal examination of organs is also used in men with significant excess weight when scanning the bladder. In other cases, during an external scan of the prostate, the bladder is also examined.

Depending on the prostate ultrasound procedure, different preparations for it are required.

Transabdominal scan

No special preparation is required; following general recommendations is sufficient. The only prerequisite for conducting a prostate examination in this way is that the bladder is completely full. As with a kidney scan, if the four-hour interval cannot be maintained, you should drink additional water after urinating. If it is not completely filled, the doctor may reschedule the study.

Transrectal scanning

It is not necessary to fill your bladder for this procedure, so you do not need to drink a lot of water. The main thing is to cleanse the intestines well before diagnosis.

The dinner before a prostate ultrasound should be very light, or it is better to avoid it altogether. If necessary, laxatives are taken 12-14 hours before the examination. It is very effective to use microenemas or cleansing enemas (1.5 liters) to cleanse the intestines.

Cystitis during pregnancy

The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor individually depending on the severity of the process. Typically, treatment lasts about ten days, but it can be extended up to eight weeks.

When taking the drug for a long time, it is important to conduct a general and biochemical blood test. This is associated with the risk of side effects from the hematopoietic system.

often wear synthetic tight-fitting underwear;

Rarely, asymptomatic cystitis is possible. In such cases, the diagnosis is made by chance when a urine test is performed for another reason.

• Temperature with cystitis: does it happen and how can it be reduced?

A risk factor is also sedentary work, which causes stagnation of blood in the veins of the pelvic areas. You cannot sit continuously in one place for, for example, 4-5 hours. If your job responsibilities require it, you should try to get up more often and take 15-minute breaks.

1. Drinking regime (in the absence of heart and kidney failure). The amount of liquid you drink per day should be about 1.5 - 2 liters. Consuming plain water is beneficial. If you prefer to buy water in a store, give preference not to mineral water, but to table water. You can take fruit drinks, dried fruit compotes, and non-acidic fruit juices. It is better to avoid vegetable juices due to the addition of salt as a preservative. Alcohol, coffee, tea should not be taken during treatment of cystitis.

What herbs and infusions are used, how to brew, dosage, duration of treatment, when can the course be repeated? The Department of Herbal Medicine of RUDN University has proposed the following algorithms for the treatment of cystitis:

1. Enhances the effect of basic medications and has an anti-inflammatory effect.

Yarrow herb 2 parts

In addition, if cystitis is not treated sufficiently, an infection from the bladder can spread to the kidneys, resulting in a more serious disease - pyelonephritis. In addition to frequent urination, pain in the lumbar region, fever, and swelling are added.

constantly use panty liners;

The drug is taken separately from meals, maintaining an interval of one hour. An exception is allowed for gastric ulcers. In this case, you can take the drug with food.

According to urologists, during the use of Palin in urological practice, the sensitivity of pathogenic microorganisms to the action of the drug has changed, that is, resistance has developed.

Treatment with traditional methods

Palin for cystitis has two important actions: firstly, it is a bacteriostatic function, which has an inhibitory effect on the proliferation of pathogenic microorganisms, and secondly, it has a bactericidal effect, which manifests itself in the form of a destructive effect on the bacteria themselves. Each of these functions manifests itself depending on the dosage; at small doses, the bacteriostatic function appears, and at high concentrations, the bactericidal function appears.

Definitely, a diet for flatulence and constipation excludes milk and dairy products, including butter, from the diet. This is due to the fact that with age, the amount of the special enzyme lactase, which breaks down milk into useful components, decreases in the cells of our body. The less this enzyme there is, the more undigested particles there are, which cause increased gas formation during further oxidation of the product or provoke rapid digestion processes and pain in the abdominal area. Live yoghurts and cheese are left in the diet as a source of lactobacilli if the cause of the disease is intestinal dysbiosis.

Finely chop the cones and pine needles of the spruce and place them in an enamel pan and add 3 liters of water. Keep on low heat for half an hour, then leave for an hour and pour into the bath. Urinalysis according to Nechiporenko; Mix equal parts of tricolor violet herb, calendula flowers, lingonberry leaves, flax seeds and lovage herb. Take 10 grams of the resulting mixture and pour 200 ml of boiling water. Keep in a thermos for 3 hours. You need to drink the infusion one-third of a glass. Take one hour before meals three times a day.

6. Reduce the addition of salt, replacing it with vinegar and herbal seasonings. For example, rosemary, both dried and fresh, has antibacterial properties and adds a light spicy taste to dishes.

Avoid underwear made from synthetic materials.

Canephron prevents the formation of stones in the urinary system and removes small urates. For cystitis, its moderate diuretic properties are useful; it relieves edema well. The drug improves blood circulation in the excretory organs, relieves pain caused by the inflammatory process.

A good prevention of cystitis is to drink a glass of cranberry juice daily or take cranberries in any other form. This natural remedy has diuretic and disinfectant properties and, as it were, prevents the infection from sticking to the walls of the bladder.

And taking the drug together with aminoglycosides enhances the bactericidal effect of Palin. It is also important to pay attention to the fact that the simultaneous use of Palin with other quinolone drugs, as well as non-narcotic analgesics, can cause convulsions.

Development factors

Constipation often occurs due to the following factors:

1. With excessive consumption of rice porridge, fried meat or bakery products, fruit products with an astringent taste.
2. With a sedentary lifestyle. It contributes to the development of the disease if the worker mainly sits during the work process, moves only on a vehicle, and does not perform physical exercises.
3. The development of cancerous tumors that are located near the intestinal area and compress it.
4. Discomfort develops due to hemorrhoids in the anus.
5. Stressful situations.
6. Peritoneal injury.
7. If the patient is poisoned.
8. The use of medications that will slow down various processes in the intestines.

   

9. A small amount of fluid per day (less than 2 liters).
