Question

A 46-year-old mother of three comes to the emergency department complaining of possible urinary tract infection. Her diagnoses are recurrent cystitis and cystocele. The doctor prescribes antibiotics and tells her to watch for signs of pyelonephritis. He has also ordered the patient an outpatient cystoscopy and a voiding cystogram.
Briefly describe how treatment options are different for this patient’s two diagnoses of cystitis and cystocele? Which diagnosis requires immediate attention and why?

Answer 1

Answer:



Explanation:

Cystitis is totally different from cystocele.

Cystitis requires immediate treatment because it's a bladder infection that must be properly treated because otherwise, it might put one's life in danger due to being an infection.

Cystocele is a bulge of the bladder into the vagina. The majority of cases can result from childbirth. Mild cases don't need treatment. When required, treatment includes a flexible ring to support the bladder or surgery.
