Can progesterone help cure cystitis? They are indeed linked by the action of water retention. Both cystitis and urethritis are more common during the premenstruum (premenstrual) and are thought to be due to water retention caused by high levels of estrogen which is an inflammatory hormone. Hormone imbalances caused by environmental poisons including the 'xeno-estrogens' are thought to be one of the causes of the problem. Maintaining adequate levels of progesterone helps in the reduction of retained water.
Some women find that d-mannose helps UTI's, others don't. The amino acid arginine is also beneficial see here. Progesterone inhibits mast cell secretions, see here. Antibiotics are often given but they merely cause a vicious cycle. Once you've stopped them, the infection can come back, so more are then given. It's essential to take the probiotics, but they must be taken a few hours away from the antibiotics, which will only kill them. Eating fermented foods and kefir milk/water are excellent sources of probiotics and help with Inflammation.
A combination of vitamin C and bicarb works well, the ratio should be 1 bicarb to 2.75 vitamin C. This gives a delicious fizzy drink, which should be taken 3 times a day until the infection clears. Mix 1 tsp bicarb with 2.75 tsp vitamin C, this would be enough for one day - see below. If there's insufficient vitamin C the drink is very bitter due to the bicarb. Don't mix up too much, as they react with only air moisture and it won't work.
