New perspectives on the treatment of cystitis glandularis

The treatment of glandular cystitis can be a combination of medication, surgery and lifestyle adjustments. The cause is mainly related to chronic inflammation, urinary tract infection and bladder irritation. Drug treatment includes antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and bladder protectors; surgical treatment can choose cystoscopic surgery, electrosurgical resection and laser treatment; lifestyle adjustments recommend drinking more water, avoiding irritating foods and urinating regularly.

1. Drug treatment is the first choice for glandular cystitis. Antibiotics such as levofloxacin can be used to control urinary tract infections, anti-inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen can help relieve inflammation, and bladder protectants such as pentosan polysulfate sodium can repair the bladder mucosa. Drug treatment should be carried out under the guidance of a doctor to avoid the abuse of antibiotics leading to drug resistance.

2. Surgical treatment is suitable for patients who are ineffective with drug treatment or whose condition is serious. Cystoscopy can directly observe the internal conditions of the bladder and perform lesion removal. Electrosurgical resection uses high-frequency current to remove diseased tissues, and laser treatment uses laser energy to accurately eliminate lesions. The surgical method should be selected according to the patient's specific condition. After surgery, attention should be paid to infection prevention and regular follow-up.

3. Lifestyle adjustment is crucial for the recovery of glandular cystitis. Drinking more water can help dilute urine and reduce irritation to the bladder; avoiding spicy food, coffee, alcohol and other irritating foods can reduce bladder inflammation; regular urination can prevent urine retention and reduce bacterial growth. At the same time, maintaining a good living habit and mentality can also help recovery.

The treatment of glandular cystitis requires the combined use of medication, surgery and lifestyle adjustments. Patients should choose an appropriate treatment plan based on their condition and undergo treatment and rehabilitation under the guidance of a doctor to achieve the best treatment effect.
