Is it safe to warm cystitis with blood?

Heat does help to relieve the main painful signs and is often used for cystitis. But is it possible to use dry or moist heat in case of blood discharge into the bladder cavity?

• Aconitum helps in the acute stage of cystitis with blood, which is accompanied by signs of intoxication, burning pain in the urethra, painful problem urination - including in children.

Surgical treatment

Surgical treatment of cystitis with blood is mentioned in only a few cases:

• in urolithiasis, when there is a need to remove the source of constant irritation of the mucosal tissue;
• in tumor processes, when it is necessary to remove a benign or malignant tumor that destroys tissue and blood vessels and promotes bleeding;
• for anatomical defects in the urethra.

Surgical correction of anatomical defects is prescribed according to individual indications and represents a small plastic surgery of the urethral canal - for example, transferring the external opening of the urethra, giving it a more elevated position to prevent regular infection. This intervention does not require a long recovery period and is even performed on an outpatient basis. Although it is preferable for the patient to be under medical supervision for at least 1-2 days.

Self-absorbing sutures are used for the surgery, and the postoperative period is usually quick. The patient visits the surgeon 1-2 times for follow-up check-ups. As a rule, after the intervention, cystitis recurrences do not bother anymore.
