What causes cystitis?
Cystitis is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it can also result from irritation due to certain products, dehydration, or underlying health conditions. Common triggers include holding in urine for too long, using harsh soaps, or even changes in hormone levels.
If you have questions about your particular circumstances, we recommend speaking to your GP.
How quickly could my symptoms go away?
Cystitis symptoms often start improving within a day or two of treatment, but full relief can take up to a week. Drinking plenty of water and following the right treatment can help speed up recovery.
I'm not sure I have a UTI, how do I know?
If you’re not sure whether you have a UTI, you can book an online consultation with a trusted pharmacist, who can help to diagnose your symptoms.
How does Healthera Clinic work?
Start by downloading our app and registering for an account. Next complete a clinician-reviewed assessment and explore your options. Finally, place your order through a pharmacy for collection or discreet delivery.
Do I need to visit my GP for treatment?
With Healthera Clinic, you do not need an appointment with your GP to explore treatments for cystitis. However, you will need to complete a free clinician-reviewed assessment, which you can do via the Healthera app.
Based on the information you share, if you’re eligible for treatment, our clinicians will provide a prescription to a trusted pharmacy to fulfill on your behalf.
How do you make sure my treatment is safe?
You will only be prescribed treatment if our clinicians believe it is safe to do so. Our licensed clinicians will review information that you confidentially share and, based on your circumstances, will prescribe treatment if appropriate.
Do I need to pay before I receive my treatment?
You won’t be charged if you are not eligible for treatment. You’ll only be charged once your treatment has been prepared by a trusted pharmacy.
Do you offer discreet delivery?
Yes, you can choose to receive your treatment within a few working days either by discreet delivery or by collection at a pharmacy nearby.
