Cystitis with blood

Sometimes with cystitis the patient may notice that her urine has turned red or pink. If this occurred at the end of the act of urination, then this is a manifestation of acute cystitis, but if each portion of urine has a red tint, then this is a manifestation of a more severe form of this disease - hemorrhagic cystitis .

Causes of Cystitis with Blood

1. Hemorrhagic cystitis can be caused by viruses (more often adenovirus infection). The virus penetrates along with the blood flow into the urinary tract. This type of disease is most common in childhood, especially in boys.
2. To cause this form of inflammation of the bladder can take cytostatics, of which in the human body is formed acrolein. This substance, as it is excreted in the urine, irritates the mucosa of the bladder.
3. The development of cystitis in hemorrhagic form can also lead to radiation damage to the body.
4. Cystitis with blood of a bacterial nature is more common in girls and women. The causative agent of bacterial hemorrhagic cystitis is the common E. coli (E. coli).

The development of the disease is facilitated by the following factors:

• reduction of contractility of the muscles of the walls of the bladder;
• foreign bodies in the urethra, traumatizing the mucous membrane and leading to inflammation;
• prolonged neoborozhnenie bladder, leading to a violation of blood circulation in its walls;
• the presence of anatomical obstacles to the outflow of fluid (narrowing the lumen of the bladder, squeezing the bladder tumor).

With this form of cystitis, the bladder mucosa is injured, the blood vessels are exposed and bleeding is developing.

Symptoms of cystitis with blood

Acute hemorrhagic cystitis begins with painful and frequent urination, the urge to which are almost constant, raising the temperature.

Discharges with blood in cystitis of this form do not appear immediately - usually from the onset of the disease until this point takes several hours. In some cases of blood in the urine is so much that the clots formed from it, just clog the urethra, which leads to a delay in urination.

Chronic hemorrhagic cystitis has less severe symptoms, but can cause a complication such as anemia caused by a permanent loss of blood.

What to do with cystitis with blood?

It is necessary to know that independent treatment of cystitis with blood is not permissible. Hemorrhagic cystitis is treated under stationary conditions.

Patients are shown plenty of drinking and bed rest. As drinks, use fruit drinks, non-carbonated mineral water, various compotes, herbal infusions with anti-inflammatory, diuretic and hemostatic effects (for example, yarrow, horsetail, bearberry , cranberry leaf).

When hemorrhagic cystitis is shown a diet consisting of products that can not cause irritation of the walls of the bladder. From the diet of the patient all fried, spicy, canned, smoked, sour, salted is excluded.

If the disease is of bacterial origin, then the patient is prescribed antibiotics. Also, the patient should take drugs that stop blood and strengthen the vascular walls.

When hemorrhagic cystitis is not allowed to use warming procedures.

In the event that the patient has clots of blood clogged the urethra, then their removal is done by instrumental means. In order to prevent this process, the patient is given a urinary catheter to ensure a normal outflow of urine in the allocation of large quantities of blood in the urine.
