Trimethoprim for Cystitis/Urinary tract infections

Symptoms of cystitis

Cystitis is an infection of the bladder and passage that carries the urine from the body. Cystitis will usually cause two or more of these symptoms:

• Pain or burning when passing urine
• Needing to urinate often
• Needing to urinate urgently (without much warning)
• Discomfort just above the pubic area

If you have any of the following symptoms, see your doctor:

• Fever or a hot/cold feeling
• Vomiting or feeling like you are going to vomit
• Pain on the sides of the lower back (over the kidney area)
• Feeling particularly unwell

These are symptoms of a kidney infection and need treatment from a doctor.

If you have vaginal symptoms such as itch or discharge, talk to your pharmacist or doctor, as you may not have cystitis. Vaginal itching / irritation or vaginal discharge may be a sign of a fungal infection or a sexually transmitted infection. If you think you are at risk of a sexually transmitted infection e.g. chlamydia or genital herpes, see your doctor to get the right treatment promptly.

If you have cystitis and any of the following apply, you need to see a doctor:

• You are a male
• You are under 16 years old or over 65 years old
• You are pregnant or might be pregnant
• You have had more than three cases of cystitis in the last year (12 months)
• You have had cystitis in the last 2 weeks (apart from this instance)
• You have kidney problems, including kidney stones
• Your urinary tract (passageway for urine) is not normal or you have a catheter
• You have a spinal cord injury
• You have diabetes
• Your immune system doesn’t work properly

TREATMENT OF CYSTITIS

Cystitis can often come right on its own, but antibiotics will help this happen faster. If you have mild symptoms you may be able to drink plenty of water and avoid the need for antibiotics. Discuss the best option for you with your pharmacist or doctor.

Your pharmacist or doctor can also recommend sachets that you mix into water and drink to make your urine less acidic, which means less pain when you urinate (pass urine).

Anyone with symptoms of cystitis should drink plenty of water.
