People with cystitis often cry over little things. In the early stage of cystitis, patients are prone to impulsive emotions, become irritable in a temper, like to cry, and have symptoms of insomnia. Women also have symptoms of menstrual disorders due to poor emotional states.
A bad emotional state is not a direct cause of cystitis. However, excessive mental stress will lead to the decline of the individual's autoimmunity and affect the normal regulation of endocrine metabolism, which is an indirect cause of cystitis.
Repeated cystitis episodes will increase the patient's mental and psychological burden, which will put the patient in a bad emotional state. Excessive mental stress mainly influences the treatment and recovery of cystitis.
Cystitis patients are constantly awakened by urine at night, which may affect sleep. Frequent waking up at night will inevitably affect the quality of sleep. If there is insufficient sleep at night, the patient's mood during the day will naturally not be high.
Emotions and stress worsen cystitis symptoms, and cystitis can backfire and make anxiety worse. They are complementary relationships.

If some patients cannot regulate their pressure well, they can assist with traditional Chinese medicine decoction to calm the nerves. A specific conditioning effect can be achieved.
If the patient's emotional stress is too high, causing anxiety disorders, they can go to the psychiatric clinic for anti-anxiety examinations to treat anxiety symptoms. After the anxiety is relieved, cystitis will subside naturally, so there is no need to worry too much.
