Does anyone have a cure for cystitis?
I posted earlier today and said that i'd had cystitis following BDing last night. I though it had cleared up this afternoon but at around 5pm it came back just as bad as before.
I haven't had it for years and just wondered if anyone has any good cures or treatment suggestions. Oddly it doesn't hurt when I wee or I think i'd be beside myself!
I am willing to try anything!
Thanks xx

I sometimes have to have antibiotics - so I would try cranberry and then go to doctors if it doesn't clear up.
Apparantly, it is very common for women to get it after sex and the only way to prevent it is to wee straight after sex - which clearly anyone in this forum can't!!
Hope it gets better soon

i used to get it all the time when hubby and i got together and often needed anti biotics. don't let it go on too long as i did once and got nasty water infection x x
My cure passed to me by a good friend: 1 or 2 (pref 2!) teaspoons of bicarbinate of soda in a big glass of water (pint sized). Followed by a nice cup of tea. Drink it down then have a nice hot bath.
Tastes vile, but works every time!

Yeah cranberry juice is good but usually I end up needing anti-biotics. You can get cranberry supplements which if you just take every day help prevent it in the first place. You have my sympathies as I have had this a million times (usually after BDing!)

i was told to go to the loo after BD'ing but then how am i supposed to get pregnant?
Brillbride - it's crazy isn't it. I've always been told to go to the loo after and before sex but surely that isn't baby making friendly! x
Barley water is good too you know like lemon or orange barley water by robinsons?
As for going the loo after BD I've 3 kids & always hopped right out to go the loo afterwards so it is possible!
hope it clears up soon, bloody awful thing.
