Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Bladder pain is a common urinary system symptom. The following measures can help alleviate and treat it:
1. Medication: If bladder pain is caused by bacterial infection, such as acute cystitis or urinary tract infection, doctors may prescribe antibiotics for treatment. Painkillers can help relieve the pain.
2. Lifestyle adjustments: Keep the external genital area clean and dry, and change underwear frequently. Reduce or avoid consuming irritants such as coffee, tea, and chili peppers, as these substances may worsen bladder irritation symptoms. Maintaining adequate water intake helps promote urination, thereby flushing the urethra and bladder and reducing bacterial growth and inflammation.
3. Physical therapy: Place a hot water bottle or warm compress on the lower abdomen to improve local blood circulation and relieve muscle tension and pain.
4. Daily habits: Urinate at regular intervals and avoid holding urine.
5. Surgical treatment: Stones or tumors may require surgical treatment.
If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is recommended.
