CYSTITIS
PREVENTION |
|
|
If patients have recurrent infections
despite the altering of habits that might lead to infection, several
methods have been used successfully to prevent recurrences. These
include taking an antibiotic after sexual intercourse, taking an
antibiotic when symptoms of cystitis arise, or taking an antibiotic
on a daily basis even when healthy.
A physician should direct care in these circumstances, as the use of
antibiotics can lead to resistance of bacteria to medication over
time. Patients should note that certain antibiotics used to treat
cystitis also make birth control pills less effective. |
