background

I suffer from cystitis regularly usually twice a year sometimes more or maybe less. I know it my diet that is a trigger but I don't know exactly what foods are causing it. I am being careful by not having coffee/yoghurts/cream cakes or anything too rich and chocolates but after a period of time it returns again. I drink mainly water or hot water sometimes. Can you help?

Did you know?

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!).
