Aconite
This remedy is often useful when a person feels anxious both before and
during urination, with hot, scanty urine, and a burning or spasmodic
feeling in the outlet of the bladder. It can also be helpful if retention of
urine occurs after a person has been very cold and chilled, or after a shaking
experience.
Apis
mellifica
This remedy is indicated when the
person frequently needs to urinate, but only small quantities are passed.
Stinging and burning sensations are felt especially with the last few
drops. The person may also experience soreness in the abdomen. Heat
and touch make the symptoms worse, and cold applications, cool bathing, and open
air bring relief. A lack of thirst is another indication that
Apis may
be needed.
Belladonna
This remedy is for sudden, intense throbbing pain. It
is used if
urging to urinate is frequent and intense and the bladder feels very
sensitive. A cramping or writhing sensation may be felt in the bladder area.
Small amounts of highly-colored urine pass. This remedy is sometimes
helpful if a person passes small amounts of blood and no serious cause can be
found on medical examination.
Berberis vulgaris
Cystitis with
twinges of
cutting pain, or a burning feeling that extends to the urethra and
its opening, may indicate a need for this remedy. The passage may also burn at
times when no attempt at urination is being made. After emptying the bladder,
the person feels as if some urine still remains inside. Urging and discomfort
are often worse from walking.
Cantharis
Strong urging to urinate with cutting pains that are felt before the
urine passes, as well as during and after—may indicate a need for this remedy.
Only several drops pass at a time, with a scalding sensation. The person may
feel as if the bladder has not been emptied, still feeling a constant urge to
urinate.
Borax
This remedy can be helpful for cystitis with smarting pain in the urinary
opening and aching in the bladder, with a feeling that the urine is
retained. Children may cry or shriek, afraid to urinate because they know
the pain is coming. Borax is often indicated for people who are
sensitive to noise and inclined toward motion sickness.
Chimaphila umbellata
If a person has a troublesome urge to urinate but has to strain (or even stand
up and lean forward) to make it pass, this remedy may be useful. A scalding
sensation may be felt while the urine flows, with a feeling of straining
afterward.
Clematis
This remedy may be indicated if a person has to urinate frequently with only a
small amount being passed. A feeling of constriction is felt in the urinary
passage, and the flow may be interrupted, or there may be dribbling afterward. A
tingling sensation may occur, lasting long after urination is finished.
Equisetum
For cystitis accompanied by dull but distressing pain and a feeling of
fullness in the bladder, even after urinating, this remedy may be helpful.
Urging and discomfort are more intense when the bladder has recently been
emptied, improving over time as the bladder become more full.
Lycopodium
This remedy may be helpful if a person
has to urinate frequently during the night and passes large amounts of
urine. OR
the person may feel a painful urge, but has to strain to make the urine flow.
Pain may be felt in the back before the urine passes. If fever is present, the
urine has a reddish color, or discomfort is felt in the kidney region, the
person should see a doctor.
Medorrhinum
A homeopathic nosode for removing chronic bladder
infections, inflammation, yeast
and bacterial overgrowth.
Mercurius corrosivus
sublimates
Extremely painful urination, can pass only
a few drops of dark or bloody urine; fever and sweating. Cystitis with
intense urging of the bladder with intense burning. The passing of the urine
drop by drop. In the region of the kidneys there is cutting pain which
extends into the abdomen, the bladder and urethra. The most
distressing symptom is the constant urging to urinate, even a few
spoonfuls of urine in the bladder bringing on this urging, which is
accompanied by the terrible distress at the neck of the bladder. This pain
is aggravated immediately following urination and this remedy has more to do
with the urethral.
Mercurius solubilus
Cystitis with intense urging of the bladder with
intense burning. The passing of the urine drop by drop. In the region of the
kidneys there is cutting pain which extends into the abdomen, the bladder
and urethra. The most distressing symptom is the constant urging to
urinate, even a few spoonfuls of urine in the bladder bringing on this
urging, which is accompanied by the terrible distress at the neck of the
bladder. This pain is aggravated immediately following urination and this
remedy has more to do with the urethral.
Nux vomica
Irritable bladder with a
constant need
to urinate but passing only small amounts. Burning
or cramping pain may be felt in the bladder area, with an itching sensation in
the urethra while the urine passes. The person may feel very irritable,
impatient, and chilly. Symptoms may be relieved by hot baths or other forms of
warmth.
Sarsaparilla
This remedy is often useful in cystitis and often helps when symptoms are
unclear, or if other remedies have not been effective. Frequent urging is
felt, with burning pain at the end of urination. Urine passes when the
person is standing up, but only dribbling occurs while sitting. Flakes or
sediment are sometimes seen in the urine. Sometimes helpful when stones
are forming or the kidneys are involved.
Sepia
This remedy may be helpful if a person has to urinate frequently, with sudden
urging, a sense that urine will leak if urination is delayed and small amounts
of involuntary urine loss. The person may experience a bearing-down feeling in
the bladder region or pressure above the pubic bone. A person who needs this
remedy often feels worn-out and irritable, with cold extremities and a lax or
sagging feeling in the pelvic area.
Staphysagria
Staphysagria is often indicated for
cystitis that develops in a woman after sexual intercourse, especially if
sexual activity is new to her or if cystitis occurs after every occasion of
having sex. Pressure may be felt in the bladder after urinating, as
if it is still not empty. A sensation that a drop of urine is rolling through
the urethra or a constant burning feeling are other indications.
Useful for cystitis that develops after illnesses with extended bed rest or
after the use of catheters.
