Bell's Palsy, My face feels strange
Hello, I am Choi Yeon-seung, the Chief Director of Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic. I'm greeting you with a blog post after a long time. I've been frantically busy with the clinic's expansion and relocation, but now I've finally gathered my thoughts and am able to post. Today, I'd like to talk about <b>cystitis</b>, a condition that women are almost certain to experience at least once in their lifetime. What is commonly referred to as 'urinary irritation' is also a type of <b>cystitis</b>. It is said that women have a greater than 50% chance of developing cystitis over their lifetime because their urethra is shorter than men's, and the anus and vagina are in close proximity, making them more susceptible to bacterial infections. In cases of simple cystitis, the inflammation is confined solely to the bladder, and symptoms often improve within a few days after antibiotic treatment. However, cystitis frequently recurs or becomes chronic, requiring special management. Today, we will delve into the causes and treatments for recurrent or chronic cystitis. <br/> <h3>Causes of Recurrent and Chronic Cystitis</h3> Typically, the cause of cystitis is bacterial infection. It is known that E. coli infection is the cause in over 80% of cystitis patients. However, in cases of recurrent or chronic cystitis, rather than simple cystitis, various complex causes beyond bacterial infection contribute to the symptoms. The bladder's immunity may be compromised, making it susceptible to bacterial infection, or the bladder's function itself may be impaired, leading to incomplete urination and often leaving residual urine in the bladder. Furthermore, it is common to observe cystitis recurring or becoming chronic due to stress, overwork, or menopausal hormonal imbalances. From a traditional Korean medicine perspective, these causes are closely related to the functional decline of the Kidneys and Spleen, which govern bladder function. If Kidney function declines, the bladder's water metabolism function is impaired, leading to residual urine accumulation, and weakened immunity makes one susceptible to bacterial infection. If Spleen function declines, the circulation of *qi* and blood in the body becomes sluggish, preventing proper contraction and relaxation of bladder muscles, and also reducing bladder immunity, thus becoming a cause of recurrent or chronic cystitis. <br/> <h3>Treatment of Recurrent and Chronic Cystitis</h3> In Western medicine, cystitis caused by bacterial infection can be treated relatively easily with antibiotic prescriptions. However, for recurrent or chronic cystitis, treatment with antibiotics alone is often difficult due to issues such as antibiotic resistance or side effects. In such cases, a fundamental treatment is needed that enhances immunity and improves bladder function, thereby creating a healthier bladder environment and preventing recurrence. At Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic, for the fundamental treatment of recurrent and chronic cystitis, <br/> our treatment focuses on enhancing immunity and improving *qi* and blood circulation through the improvement of Kidney and Spleen function. For any woman who has experienced cystitis even once, we highly recommend visiting Baengnokdam Korean Medicine Clinic to experience fundamental treatment that prevents recurrence.
