hi. I started getting cystitus a few years ago. i now get it all the time through dehydration-after a couple of glasses of wine or after sex. lots of things bring it on but it isn't like an infection it will last about two days and then go again. I am now wondering if that is what it is at all. i try to make sure i drink a lot of water.

Daisy answered Thursday May 12 2005, 5:43 am: It sounds to me that when you are getting over the cystitis it hasn't totally gone away before you start drinking and having sex again. Cranberry juice is widely known to be the best cure. If I were you I would try and stay off or just cut down on the amount of wine you are drinking and perhaps only limit yourself to having sex once a week until you are totally clear. Although the physical symptoms will have gone the virus will still be there for a little longer. By cutting down on the things which help make it worse, you will recover quicker.
