Inflammation of the urinary bladder. (Dorland, 27th ed)

-
characterized by pain and swelling in the hypogastric region; discharge of urine painful or obstructed, and tenesmus. It may affect one or all of the membranes; but commonly it is confined to the mucous coat. In the chronic condition, it appears in the form of cystirrhoea. It must be treated upon the same energetic principles as are required in other cases of internal inflammation; venesection, general and local, the warm bath, warm fomentations, warm, soothing enemata, diluents, &c. Cantharides must be avoided, even in the way of blisters, unless with precautions, as the disease is often occasioned by them.

Inflammation of the urinary bladder. Due most often to Bacillus toll, Bacillus typhosus, Bacillus aerogenes, and Bacillus Proteus; sometimes to Micrococcus gonorrhoea, Micrococcus ureae, Staphylococcus, etc. Acute catarrhal c., excited by injuries (catheterization), gonorrhoea, foreign bodies (calculi), retention of urine, and changes in the urine imparting to it an irritant quality, is marked by burning pain in the bladder, pain in the perineum and urethra, and frequent, painful micturition. The urine contains tenacious mucus. Treatment: removal of cause, hot sitz-bath or fomentations to pubes, leeches to perineum and hypogastrium, diluent alkaline drinks, codeine, lupulin, and in persistent cases washing out of bladder and cystotomy. Croupous and Diphtheritic c., marked by the presence of a false membrane, is due to diphtherial infection or to very strong irritants. Symptoms and treatment same as catarrhal c. Chronic c., due to a continuance of the same causes as those producing acute c., has similar but milder symptoms combined with progressive depreciation of the health, leading to death from exhaustion or from involvement of the kidneys. The urine, which is insufficiently evacuated, decomposes and becomes alkaline and full of pus and mucus. Treatment: removal of cause, antiseptics, diuretics (buchu, copaiba, salol), guaiacol, oil of sandal wood, Canada and Peruvian balsams, washing out of bladder with hot water and antiseptics (boric acid, borax, silver nitrate), cystotomy to secure permanent drainage.
