Follicular cystitis

Follicular Cystitis Treatment:
The treatment is to control the infection, and is symptomatic treatment. There is no single treatment option for follicular cystitis. An effective course of treatment for one patient may not work for another. Antibiotics are prescribed if infection accompanies inflammation of the bladder. Drugs used to treat follicular cystitis are some of the same ones used to treat chronic cystitis. These may include bladder coatings, antidepressants and antihistamines. Antispasmodics and bladder anaesthetics may also be used.Surgical options, such as bladder augmentation or cystectomy, are sometimes considered, but only as a last resort after all other options have been exhausted.NOTE: The above information is educational purpose.

Very useful article,which helped me a lot in reporting histopathology slide.
I had bladder cancer removed in ’15 with 2 series of BCG and have had several bladder infections since the surgery (NONE before 0, zip, zilch, nada) Then in late ’17 Sr DR Garzona, following my reports of pink urine on the toilet paper and then small pieces of blood on the paper, ordered an ultrasound and I saw what I described as popcorn all across the base of the bladder. Pathology came back as “Chronic follicular cystitus” Should I expect to have this cystitus scraped of every couple of years?
You have to be examined regularly via cystoscopy at least once a year (recommended every 3-6 months after the bladder cancer treatment). The necessity to perform biopsy will be defined by your doctor. However, it is not related to follicular cystitis rather to the bladder cancer.
I was diagnosed with follicular cystitis in June 2016. Was put on a low does of macrodantin for four months. I also have been taking Cystoprotek. I feel about 95% back to normal again.
What antibiotic were you put on? I have been suffering with IC since I was 17, but since my forties things have gotten very bad. I am 46 now. I cannot sleep anymore due to frequent urination and the constant urge to pee. The bladder pain is terrible. I wonder if I may have FC instead or in addition to. Do.you live in Florida? If so, whom is your doctor?
I have just received my cystoscopy report which shows normal ureteric orifices, but cysts and follicles in the trigone area. It is suggested bladder biopsy and ct urogram be performed. It also says patient on cancer pathway, even though the Dr who performed the procedure was 99% sure all was ok. Now I’m scared. He even gave me the choice to have biopsies or not!
Follicular cystitis is a bening condition associated with the chronic bladder infection. It is recommended to perform biopsy to make sure that there are no signs of cellular dysplasia, as this disease may precede the development of cancer. However, the presence of follicular cystitis does not mean that you will obligatory experience malignancy.
You should visit doctor regularly and perform all the necessary tests to track this condition.
Please send me info reg. Focally active chronic follicular type of mild to moderate intensity, I also have a BOSNIAK f CYST right kidney
Chronic infection leads to the development of mucosal nodules and lymphoid follicles in some areas of the bladder. Mild to moderate intensity means that the inflammation is quite intense, although not severe which will also influence the symptoms of the disorder.
