My dear friend,<\/p>\n
you hear so many of grandmother’s remedies to treat cystitis<\/a>. Today we focus on baking soda<\/strong>, an ingredient used for a thousand thousand problems and, most of the time, really useful.<\/p>\n But not in this case!<\/p>\n Why? Let’s find out together in this article.<\/p>\n Let’s make it clear right away: there is no medical research demonstrating the effectiveness of baking soda in treating cystitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In fact, it might even be dangerous!<\/p>\n Incorrect intake of sodium bicarbonate to treat UTIs (urinary tract infections) can complicate the situation, and the patient may need immediate medical attention.<\/p>\n You should know, in fact, that cases<\/strong> have been reported of people suffering from nasal bleeding<\/strong> due to the ingestion of baking soda to treat this type of infection. Not to mention that excessive intake can lead to an acid-base imbalance in the body.<\/p>\n These are the most common complications caused by baking soda:<\/p>\n But that is not all.<\/p>\n In severe cases, taking sodium bicarbonate can even cause bleeding in the brain<\/strong>.<\/p>\n In short, it seems pretty clear to me: this is not the remedy you need for your cystitis! But because I don’t like to leave anything to chance, I’ll share with you below some studies conducted on the subject.<\/p>\n Read also: <\/strong>Why in the presence of diabetes increases the risk of occurrence of cystitis<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n We just mentioned that there is not much scientific evidence that baking soda can cure urinary tract infections. However, there is evidence that this ingredient can be harmful to the body<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Ananalysis by the California Poison Control System<\/a> found that out of 192 cases of baking soda poisoning, 4-7% were due to people who tried to use it as a treatment for UTIs (urinary tract infections)<\/strong>. In most cases, the complications were serious enough to force the poisoned people to go to the hospital.<\/p>\n Even though it is a natural product, it can still be dangerous, especially if ingested in quantities.<\/p>\n At least one case<\/a> has been documented in the Western Journal of Emergency Health in which a man experienced severe bleeding following the ingestion of sodium bicarbonate<\/a>.<\/p>\n So, its intake should always be approved by one’s treating physician<\/strong>, so that one does not suffer from serious side effects and complications due to the presence of disease or ongoing therapy.<\/p>\n In any case, the recommended dose is about 325-2000 mg orally<\/strong>, and it is always recommended to take it a couple of hours after meals.<\/p>\n Since cystitis is most commonly caused by bacteria inside the bladder<\/a>, the first step is to eliminate the bacteria to get rid of the infection.<\/p>\n This requires drinking plenty of water during the day and emptying the bladder completely<\/strong>: if you hold your pee too long, you risk bacteria multiplying, prolonging the infection.<\/p>\n Second, it is essential to take care of one’s intimate hygiene<\/strong>.<\/p>\n It seems obvious to say, but you should always clean yourself from front to back<\/strong> (and never the other way around): since the distance between the anus and the urethra is really small, it is really easy to spread intestinal germs if you don’t clean yourself the right way!<\/p>\n In addition, it is important to wash thoroughly with gentle cleansers<\/a>, especially after sexual intercourse<\/a>: keep in mind that sex could also cause cystitis<\/strong>, in this case we are talking about post-coital<\/a> cystitis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n And since we are talking about it, it makes sense to be very careful during intercourse and, most importantly, to be properly lubricated<\/a>.<\/p>\n But it didn’t end there.<\/p>\n Always remember to wear <\/strong>loose-fitting<\/b> clothing <\/strong>, especially at night, to allow intimate areas to breathe and avoid retaining moisture.<\/p>\n Finally, here are some extra tips:<\/p>\n Eh, wait, what?<\/p>\n If you have never heard of it, I will briefly explain what it is.<\/p>\n We are talking about a plant-derived monosaccharide that helps expel bacteria naturally<\/strong>. How? Simple, by peeing! Our Dimann brand products (available individually<\/a> or in convenient kits<\/a>) help in the prevention and treatment of cystitis.<\/p>\n Do you want to know which ones are best for you?
