Hi I’m male 43, I’ve got cystitis, I done my prostate test which is negative, also routine urine which is also negative for infection. I got pain in my bladder area and penis. I sometimes take pain killers. It recurring me in 3 months time. Please guide me what to do?? My doc says no need for antibiotics as no infection in urine.

You could try taking our remedy for cystitis, Uva-Ursi, which is often helpful in cases of interstitial cystitis when there is no infection present.

However, we would say if symptoms persist this should be investigated further by your doctor in case this is related to some other underlying issue.

Do you have questions? Please feel free to ask.

Cystitis is sometimes known as ‘honeymoon cystitis’. Why? Well, during sex, bacteria can spread from the perineum to the urethral opening. The risk of developing cystitis is therefore increased depending on the frequency you have intercourse (sorry honeymooners!).
