Cystitis: Honeymoon Cystitis
built 480 days ago
The common cause of honeymoon cystitis is the introduction of E. coli bacteria (which normally lives in the bowel) into the urethra. This bacteria begins to replicate, which leads to infection. In addition to the possibility of it occurring after frequent, strenuous intercourse, honeymoon cystitis can ... start when an unclean finger, penis, or other object is inserted from the anus into the vagina. Women who wipe from back to front, rather than from vagina to anus, are also at higher risk for this infection.

An antibiotic is the initial treatment for bacterial cystitis (see ... in urinary tract infection). Drinking lots of water will usually result in the removal of the bacteria from the bladder, and the cystitis will clear after a week or so. Natural remedies and some drugs which counteract the acidity of urine, such as Cystopurin (potassium citrate), can help to relieve symptoms, but will not clear up the infection. The old remedy was barley water. For more details see Treatment, Medication, Monitoring, Expectations, Possible Complications of Honeymoonitis.

Sexual activity – The most common contributing factor for cystitis is sexual activity. This is why the condition is sometimes referred to as ‘honeymoon cystitis’. During sex, bacteria can be spread from the perineum to the urethral opening. In addition, any form of vaginal penetration can cause rubbing or irritation to the urethra (which is adjacent to the interior of the vagina). If a woman’s lubrication is inadequate the vaginal skin can become irritated or suffer from small abrasions, encouraging bacteria to grow. The bacteria in the vagina may then be transferred to the urethral opening.

Sometimes cystitis is referred to as honeymoon cystitis, because this bladder infection commonly occurs in women as a result of sexual intercourse. During sexual activity, bacteria may be introduced into the bladder through the urethra. But even sexually inactive girls and women are susceptible to lower urinary tract infections because the anus, a constant source of bacteria, is so close to the female urethra.
