Excerpt from Dominion Medical Monthly and Ontario Medical Journal, 1906, Vol. 26
All preliminary discussions as to history, etiology and pathol ogy lead up to the two great practical issues: how to prevent the disease and how to get rid of it.
Prophylaxis - I am convinced that if we pay closer attention to prophylaxis there will be a prompt and a large percentage reduction in the cases of cystitis. Most of the cases seen nowa days, follow some ordinary surgical operation.
A potent factor in the prophylaxis is the proper use of the catheter, which I may summarize as follows: A sterilized catheter; cleansing of the internal meatus before introduction.
The general introduction of the catheter without touching the end introduced. The bladder must not be permitted to become distended.
