Prognosis | Pain during urination in women

Prognosis

There is a very good prognosis for cystitis, which causes the pain of the woman when she urinates, as it heals without consequences if treated adequately. However, consequential damage must be expected if no treatment is given and the inflammation of the bladder becomes chronic or ascends into the kidney, which can cause more serious inflammation such as inflammation of the renal pelvis. The prognosis is also generally very good for sexually transmitted diseases that cause pain when urinating. No generally valid statement can be made about bladder cancer. Here the prognosis depends on the stage of the cancer and the related therapy options.

Prophylaxis

In order to prevent pain when urinating, it is necessary to take prophylactic measures against the diseases that cause it. In this way, one can try to prevent the development of cystitis by taking general measures such as a sufficient daily amount of about two liters of water. Since intestinal bacteria are often responsible for cystitis, hygiene is very important for the prophylaxis of cystitis.

The toilet paper should always be led only from the front to the back. Frequently a cystitis is also caused by ascending pathogens of the physiological skin flora after sexual intercourse. As a preventive measure, urination after sexual intercourse helps to flush out these pathogens.

Another possibility for the prophylaxis of cystitis is vaccination against it. Cranberry juice is also said to have a prophylactic effect against cystitis. Sexually transmitted diseases can easily be prevented by using a condom during sexual intercourse. Since smoking is a decisive risk factor for the development of bladder cancer, refraining from smoking is the best prophylaxis.
