Cystitis occurs when there is inflammation in your bladder.

This inflammation often happens due to a urinary tract infection (UTI). You can treat this type of cystitis with a short course of antibiotics.

Common symptoms of cystitis include a painful burning sensation when you pee or feeling the need to pee more often. You might also have strong-smelling or cloudy urine.

For milder cases, home treatment for cystitis includes drinking plenty of water, taking paracetamol if needed, and going to the toilet when you need to. If your symptoms do not improve after 3 days of home treatment, you’ll need cystitis antibiotic treatment to help your recovery.

It’s important to get treated for cystitis as soon as possible. An untreated infection can lead to a more serious kidney infection as the bacteria spreads up the urinary tract.

You can request a UTI test strip from ZAVA to check if you have cystitis. This is similar to the test that your doctor would do, but you can do this from the comfort of your own home. You simply dip the test strip in a urine sample, scan a QR code on the card, and get results in seconds. All you need is a compatible mobile phone.

At ZAVA, we can also prescribe you a short course of antibiotic UTI treatment, such as nitrofurantoin (previously sold as MacroBID) or trimethoprim. Simply fill out our short consultation questionnaire which our doctors will review. Your cystitis treatment will be sent straight to your door if it is suitable for you. You can also choose to collect the treatment or test strip from your local Post Office. This service is only offered to women under 65.
