A hot sitz bath may be substituted. A heating pad or heat lamp centered over the suprapubic area may be used continuously between other treatments.
Give buchu or other diuretic tea, 1 cup per hour during the acute phase until symptoms subside - usually about four to five hours. The diet should be carefully controlled : no sugar or other concentrated sweeteners, no oil, no caffeine or other methylxanthines (found in coffee, tea, colas and chocolate), no pepper or other spices, alcohol, baking soda or baking powder products, and only two meals daily - breakfast and mid-day meal.
