The most common disease associated with inflammation of the bladder is cystitis. This pathology affects women more often than men, and this is due to the anatomical features of the fairer sex (harmful bacteria enter up the urethra). A surprise for a person is the temperature with cystitis, which occurs with an acute form of the course of the disease. Let's consider this point in more detail.
Causes of cystitis
The causative agents of this disease are staphylococcal, intestinal and streptococcal bacteria, ureaplasma, viruses, Trichomonas, fungal infections, chlamydia and other microorganisms. Factors that can provoke cystitis are hypothermia, trauma to the bladder mucosa, a recent operation, venous blood stasis in the pelvis, beriberi, hormonal disorders.
A common cause of disease inwomen are the anatomical features of the structure of the urethra, which is shorter and wider than the male. As a result, any infection can easily rise up, since this organ is very close to the anus and vagina. That is why the temperature in acute cystitis in women rises much more often, because the body begins to fight a harmful infection.
Men most often suffer from cystitis against the background of inflammation of the testicles and prostate, infections of the genital organs and kidneys, a significant decrease in immunity. In addition, the disease can be provoked by kidney stones, radiation damage, the presence of a cancerous tumor in nearby organs, and allergies.
Symptoms of cystitis
The signs of this disease are specific, regardless of the form of leakage:
- frequent urge to urinate;
- aching pain in the suprapubic or groin area;
- sharp pain during urination;
- presence of blood in the urine.
If the inflammation is very strong, then the symptoms appear more clearly: the pain during urination is very strong, the urge is also frequent (2-3 times per hour), after emptying the bladder, pain persists, sometimes even lasting around the clock. Acute cystitis with fever is the most obvious sign of this disease.
In chronic cystitis, the above symptoms are absent, only the number of visits to the bathroom increases.
Features of the course of the disease in pregnant women
A woman's body undergoes hormonal changes during pregnancy, the vaginal microflora is disturbed, and immunity is reduced. If she suffers from chronic cystitis, then the inflammatory process begins to worsen.
During this period, it is strictly forbidden to take any medicines, but in this condition they should be taken in a minimal amount. Only anti-inflammatory drugs injected directly into the bladder are allowed. After the birth of a child, a woman needs to see a doctor as soon as possible to begin intensive treatment.
Does fever occur with cystitis?
Fever with such a disease usually should not be. But if an exacerbation occurs, then the temperature during cystitis indicates that the infection is already spreading far beyond the bladder, while the upper urinary tract is also captured. In addition, the patient begins to experience severe pain in the lower abdomen. The inflammatory process in its initial stage is characterized by an abrupt increase in temperature from 37 to 38 degrees.
You should know that it is not recommended to bring down the temperature below 38 degrees. Untreated cystitis is able to go into a latent form, in which the temperature can constantly stay at around 37 degrees. This contributes to the fact that the disease becomes chronic, complications arise and infections of the genital area develop.
What to do whena strong rise in temperature?
Many patients are interested: if there is a temperature with cystitis, can it reach 39 degrees and above? Unfortunately, this is not uncommon, and in this case, there is a high probability of inflammation of the kidneys - pyelonephritis. Therefore, if the temperature during cystitis has exceeded 38 degrees, you should immediately consult a doctor. You should know: with cystitis, body temperature rarely exceeds 37.5 degrees.
Such situations also happen: the patient received the necessary treatment, re-tested, and it turned out that he is he althy, and the temperature continues to stay within 37.5 degrees. In this case, we can talk about a failure in the immune system, so you need to consult an immunologist.
Treatment of cystitis
To get rid of this disease, you must adhere to the following recommendations:
- observe bed rest;
- drink as much warm water as possible;
- take necessary medications;
- diet.
If there is a temperature with cystitis, then antipyretic, analgesic and antibacterial drugs are prescribed. With severe pain, it is recommended to take medicines that relieve spasm of the muscles of the bladder - Drotaverin, No-shpu, Papaverin. They are presented both in the form of tablets and suppositories. Rezi is able to eliminate an ordinary heating pad, which is placed on the lower abdomen.
Diuretic herbs such as bearberry, lingonberry leaf help well with cystitis. Blueberry, lingonberry and cranberry fruit drinks are considered especially useful. There are also ready-made phytopreparations - Phytolysin paste, Cyston and Canephron tablets. Well relieve the state of warm herbal baths or washing with warm water and soda of the external genitalia.
In acute cystitis, it is not recommended to use marinades, pickles, spices, and fruits and dairy products are considered very useful.
If the disease is chronic, the doctor prescribes procedures that help restore the outflow of urine. Be sure to diagnose and eliminate foci of infection in the body. Antibacterial therapy is possible only after the necessary laboratory tests - urine culture and identification of the pathogen, as well as determining its sensitivity to antibiotics.
Conclusion
Thus, to the question of whether there can be a temperature with cystitis, the answer is yes. In this case, you should not waste time, but rather consult a doctor as soon as this condition indicates a strong inflammatory process. Self-medication can lead to the fact that the disease becomes chronic, which is very difficult to get rid of.
