Glandular cystitis, relatively high incidence of young women, is a urinary system disease. And it is a relatively rare non-neoplastic inflammatory lesion. For the treatment of this disease, it is important for patients to make a definite diagnosis firstly. Then, how to diagnose it? In fact, only cystoscopy and biopsy can make an accurate diagnosis for this disease.

Clinically, the causes of glandular cystitis are unknown. Some experts think that it may relate to chronic inflammation and obstruction of the bladder. And the main symptoms are recurrent frequency and urgency of urination, dysuria, discomfort of suprapubic area and perineal and so on. In general, for this disease, B ultrasound is firstly applied; it can help to check the bladder lesions. In addition, CT is also helpful to diagnose it. However, to make a accurate diagnosis, cystoscopy and biopsy are necessary.

Through cystoscopy, the lesion are mainly located in the triangle area and bladder neck; it often exists through pieces or clusters; it has a nature of multiple forms, which means that it includes nipple-like, lobulated, follicular shapes. It can be found that the Cystoscope plays a significant role in diagnosing glandular cystitis. But for papilloma-like glandular cystitis, it is easy to be misdiagnosed as cancer. But if doctors combine cystoscope with biopsy, the types of this disease are easy to differentiate. So biopsy also has a vital significance to diagnose this disease.

Once diagnosed with glandular cystitis, patients need to take timely treatment as it is considered to have the possibility of canceration. In the western treatments, transurethral resection or fulguration is commonly used to cure the lesions; postoperative intravesical approach can be also applied. In the TCM, drugs which have the functions of clearing heat and removing toxin, activating blood and resolving stasis, and promoting diuresis and relieving stranguria are usually applied to cure this disease, such as Angelica sinensis, Chinese yam. Patients can also directly take the herbal medicine Diuretic and Anti-inflammatory Pill which can play a complete pesticide effect on this disease.

In summary, cystoscopy and biopsy can make a confirmed diagnosis of glandular cystitis. And it is also very important for its treatment. While for the treatment of this disease, the current conservative TCM treatment is relatively prevail in patients such as the natural and scatheless diuretic and anti-inflammatory pill.
