Overview
Preventative measures to avoid cystitis include abstinence from sexual activity, voiding after intercourse, use of barrier contraception during sexual intercourse, increasing fluid intake and frequency of urination, and use of estrogen (among post-menopausal women). Single-dose prophylactic antimicrobial therapy prior to sexual intercourse may be administered to patients who have recurrent episodes of cystitis that are associated with sexual activity.
Primary Prevention
The following preventative measures may reduce the risk of cystitis: [1]
- Abstinence from sexual activity
- Voiding after every intercourse
- Use barrier contraception and avoiding spermicides
- Increasing the intake of fluids and the frequency of urination
- Use of topical estrogen among post-menopausal women
The use of cranberry to prevent cystitis remains controversial. Cranberry is thought to prevent the adherence of uropathogens to urothelial cells, but its benefit is yet to be proven.[2]
