| Popis: | Using both psychometric questionnaires and psychiatric interview it has been shown that women with recurrent cystitis have significantly more psychiatric symptoms (particularly those of anxiety) than the population as a whole. By comparison with the expected prevalence, the study group shows a 3-fold increase in psychiatric symptoms antedating micturition symptoms, and a 10-fold increase in psychiatric symptoms overall. Significant differences in psychometric profiles have been demonstrated between different clinical subgroups of patients (e.g. bladder instability, outlet obstruction and dyspareunia). A multifactorial approach (including an awareness of psychiatric factors) to patients complaining of recurrent cystitis can produce a treatment failure rate as low as 4.4%. |
