the treatment of Glandular cystitis, the treatment of interstitial cystitis

Generally speaking, there are five types of cystitis:

(1)Traumatic cystitis

It is probably the most common form of cystitis in the female, and is the result of bruising of the bladder, usually by abnormally forceful sexual intercourse. It is often followed by bacterial cystitis, frequently by coliform bacteria being transferred from the bowel through the urethra into the bladder.

(2)Interstitial cystitis

It is considered more of an injury to the bladder leading to constant irritation and rarely involves the presence of infection. Patients with IC are often misdiagnosed with UTI (urinary tract infection ) or cystitis for years before they are told that their urine cultures are negative. Antibiotics are not used in the treatment of IC.

(3)Eosinophilic cystitis

It is a rare form of cystitis which is diagnosed by biopsy. In these cases, the bladder wall is infiltrated with a large number of eosinophils. The cause of EC is also unknown though it has been triggered in children by some certain medications. Some suspect it a form of interstitial cystitis.

(4)Radiation cystitis

It often occurs in patients who undergo radiation therapy to treat cancer.

(5)Hemorrhagic cystitis

It usually occurs as a side effect of cyclophosphamide therapy, and it is often prevented by administering mesna.
