Doctor of Medical Sciences, endocrinologist Zukhra Pavlovatoldin which cases cystitis develops. Diabetes mellitus can provoke it.
Cystitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder. Usually the cause of inflammation is a bacterial infection.
According to a physician, a gynecologist can prescribe standard antibiotic therapy to a patient with cystitis, not realizing her high sugar.
— Diabetes can provoke cystitis: when too high blood sugar, it begins to be excreted in the urine. At the same time, bacteria begin to actively multiply in the urine – this provokes inflammation, – the doctor wrote in her blog.
She told a case from the practice of one of her colleagues. A patient came to the doctor with complaints of cystitis. During the examination, very high blood sugar was found – 15-18 mmol/l in the morning at a rate not higher than 6. During the night, the woman got up to go to the toilet up to 20 times. When the glucose level was normalized, the inflammatory process came to naught.
Symptoms of cystitis:
- frequent, painful urination
- urine comes out in very small portions, sometimes drop by drop
- pain and pain in the suprapubic region,
- burning sensation in the genital area,
- cloudy urine,
- deterioration of general well-being,
- sometimes fever.
Profuse Frequent urination (polyuria) is a common symptom of type 2 diabetes. If you notice frequent urination and a significant increase in urine volume (especially at night), this is a serious signal to see a doctor.
In diabetes or pre-diabetes, the amount of glucose in the blood increases due to a slowdown in its absorption. The work of the kidneys increases, they excrete excess glucose into the urine. Water is strongly excreted from the body.
