Cystitis, Urethritis & Prostatitis

Urinary tract infections can cause burning or frequent urination, urgency, and pelvic discomfort. Prostatitis in men may add perineal pain, fever, or difficulty passing urine. Timely evaluation and care help prevent complications; supportive routines may improve comfort.

Overview

Cystitis is inflammation/infection of the bladder, and urethritis affects the urethra. In men, the prostate can be involved (prostatitis), sometimes causing more systemic symptoms. Typical features include dysuria (burning), urgency, frequency, suprapubic or perineal pain, and sometimes visible blood in urine.

Symptoms

  • Burning or pain with urination; urinary frequency/urgency
  • Lower abdominal, pelvic, or perineal discomfort
  • Cloudy or strong-smelling urine; occasionally blood
  • With prostatitis: fever/chills, body aches, painful ejaculation, urinary retention

Common Triggers & Risk Factors

  • Dehydration and infrequent voiding
  • Sexual activity, new partner, or improper hygiene practices
  • Obstruction or incomplete emptying (e.g., prostate enlargement)
  • Recent catheter use or urologic procedure
  • Diabetes or other conditions affecting immunity

Ayurvedic Perspective (Supportive)

Classical texts describe urinary disorders under Mutra-kr̥cchra and related conditions, often involving aggravated Pitta/Vāta and accumulation of irritative by-products. Supportive care focuses on gentle hydration, soothing foods, adequate rest, and routines that reduce genitourinary strain—always complementary to medical evaluation when infection is suspected.

Antibiotics and specific treatments are prescribed by clinicians as indicated; do not self-treat suspected UTIs.

Self-Care & Lifestyle

  • Hydrate regularly; frequent, unhurried voiding—avoid “holding it” for long.
  • Warm, light, easy-to-digest meals; limit very spicy, greasy, or highly processed foods.
  • Balanced rest and gentle movement; avoid strenuous activity during active symptoms.
  • Hygiene: post-void/perineal care; urinate after sexual activity.
  • Discuss any recurrent symptoms, pregnancy, diabetes, kidney issues, or prostate concerns with a doctor.

When to Seek Care

Prompt evaluation is advisable with fever, flank/back pain, vomiting, visible blood in urine, severe pelvic or perineal pain, inability to pass urine, symptoms during pregnancy, recurrent infections, or if symptoms persist beyond 48–72 hours despite initial measures.
