Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder. Unpleasant, painful, but easily treatable disease. Discomforting symptoms are alleviated within 1-2 days after the timely start of treatment. What drugs should be taken - only a doctor can decide. But now it’s worth talking about the most popular, most often used ointments.
Triderm
This agent has anti-inflammatory, antifungal and antibacterial effects. The composition of this ointment for cystitis includes:
- Clotrimazole. An antifungal agent that interferes with the synthesis of components of the cell membrane of fungi.
- Gentamicin. An agent that has an antibacterial effect.
- Betamethasone dipropionate. Relieves inflammation and itching.
These are three main substances, and thanks to them, the drug has a complex effect.
This ointment for cystitis in women helps quickly. It must be applied in a small amount to the genitals (not inside!). According to the reviews of the girls, itching and inflammation subside after a couple of hours, and after a few days they practically cease to be felt.
It should also be noted that Triderm prevents the pathogen from entering the bladder. Therefore, this tool is also used for thrush.
Thuja
This is another effective ointment for cystitis. This is a homeopathic remedy that helps with chronic and acute inflammatory processes. Its composition includes only plant components:
- Oils: linseed, eucalyptus and palm.
- Chamomile extract.

The drug is prohibited during pregnancy, as it has a very powerful effect. You can still take alcohol tincture or decoction of thuja inside. According to reviews, this quickly helps to get rid of discomfort with inflammation of the bladder.

According to the reviews of girls who decided to cure themselves of the disease in such a way, relief comes within two nights. The only minus of using Vishnevsky ointment for cystitis is an unpleasant odor. But it’s important not to overdo the swab! If you forget about his presence inside, there is a risk of earning candidiasis (thrush).
"Metronidazole"
This ointment for cystitis is a broad-spectrum antibiotic. It quickly helps get rid of inflammation of the bacterial etiology. Metronidazole is also known as Metrogil.
It can also be taken in powder or tablet form. Then the drug will be absorbed through the mucous membrane of the gastrointestinal tract. Therefore, he acts directly on the cause of the disease.
The ointment will be effective if the microflora is in the bladder in an ascending way. It should be used in the same way as the previous tool - soak the swab and immerse it in the vagina for the night.
The duration of the course is 10 days. If you believe the reviews, then the drug helps faster - the symptoms disappear after 2-3 days. Ointment has a pronounced antiulcer and bactericidal effect. There are also tablets that are recommended to drink with milk. But the need for their combination with ointment should be discussed with your doctor.

This well-known drug quickly copes with inflammations of various etiologies. It is familiar to most as a means of helping to eliminate burns or wounds. But with cystitis, Levomekol ointment is effective.
The basis of this tool is methyluracil. This is a substance that improves trophic tissue, and also stimulates the regeneration process. In addition, the product contains chloramphenicol, an antibiotic that effectively eliminates diseases of an infectious nature.
If a woman with cystitis has swelling of the urogenital organs during inflammation, then Levomekol will contribute to its elimination. The girls who used this ointment say that the tissues recover very quickly, and this also has the best effect on the body’s fight against the disease.
Syntomycin ointment
This is a popular antibacterial agent that quickly copes with inflammatory and infectious ailments. Accordingly, with cystitis, synthomycin ointment also helps.
She is also saturated with tampons. This tool allows you to quickly improve the general condition. Girls say that, in addition to eliminating discomfort, the temperature decreases, swelling decreases, diuresis normalizes. But after using such tampons, it is strongly recommended to take a course of using vaginal syntomycin suppositories.
And before you start treating yourself with ointment, you need to undergo a medical examination. It is necessary to determine the cause of the ailment. Since this drug is not effective in overcoming fungal diseases, the use of ointment in this case will be meaningless.
Clotrimazole
It is impossible not to mention this popular tool. Against cystitis ointment "Clotrimazole" is also used. This remedy stops the inflammatory process in the bladder and eliminates other diseases of the urinary system. The main active ingredient is an imidazole derivative. It is it that destructively affects the cells of the causative agent of the disease.
The swab soaked with "Clotrimazole" is inserted before bedtime into the vagina, and removed in the morning. There are also special vaginal suppositories with the same name, in the packaging of which there is a special applicator that facilitates the process of drug administration.

Women who used this ointment say that when applying the product on the genitals, burning and itching appears, but these reactions are short-lived. They pass after 2-3 minutes. But if the girl has too sensitive skin, and burning does not go away, then it is recommended to stop using the product.
It is important to make a reservation that even with cystitis in children, Pimafucin ointment is used. Pregnant and lactating women are also allowed to use this product. They treat even infants.
"Montavit"
This Austrian drug is an effective aid in the fight against cystitis. Its active component does not directly affect the source of inflammation. By the way, it is hydroxyethyl cellulose.
"Montavit" has a moisturizing, lubricating effect. This ointment makes up for the deficiency of vaginal secretion, which is a side effect of this ailment.
The mucous membrane tolerates the composition of the product, since it does not contain fat. In addition, the ointment is compatible with latex.
By the way, many doctors recommend that girls use this gel if they feel that there is not enough lubrication during intercourse. Otherwise, cystitis is tortured. And if a girl feels a burning sensation after intimacy, she should listen to this recommendation.

The use of "Fitolizin" and reviews
