The 100% pure D-mannose in Dimann Puro does not alter body weight.

Yes, if there is an inflammation of the bladder of bacterial origin, we recommend taking Dimann Puro capsules.
The 100% D-mannose Puro in Dimann Puro helps to expel bacteria from the bladder. As a result, D-mannose Puro will help reduce the bacterial infection and symptoms will gradually decrease.

Yes, you can use D-mannose Puro to hinder cystitis by taking 2 capsules a day (one morning and one evening).

However, we usually recommend D-mannose Puro to treat the acute phase of cystitis.

In fact, the main task of the pure D-mannose it contains is to attach itself to the bacteria, preventing them from attacking the bladder walls.

For the prevention phase, we strongly recommend Dimann Daily and Dimann Flor.

We do not recommend it for treating interstitial cystitis.

This type of cystitis involves pressure and bladder pain of varying intensity and is different from 'typical' bacterial cystitis.
In the absence of bacteria, D-mannose Puro would fail to perform its main function. We suggest taking it, if necessary, to hinder bacterial cystitis.

No, taking D-Mannose does not distort urine culture results.
Any increase in the bacterial load is an indication of its action in expelling bacteria through the urine.

Inside each Dimann Kit you will find the complete guide for free online download.
Inside the guide of each kit, there is a suggested dosage schedule with recommended times and quantity of tablets/capsules to take.

In addition, there is also a paper leaflet inside the Dimann product packaging.

Preferably take Dimann products outside meals.
Specifically, take Dimann Pure and Dimann Daily with an empty bladder and wait an hour after taking them before drinking plenty of water (one glass).

Yes, you can take the antibiotic and at the same time use Dimann Line products.

Yes, it is possible to replace antibiotics with Dimann products.

We suggest that you always consult with your doctor.

Remember, however, to follow the suggested dosage and not to abuse them.

Dimann products are all made from natural ingredients that respect each woman's body.

In pregnancy, however, it is important to consult your gynaecologist before taking one of our supplements.

Dimann products are all made from natural ingredients that respect each woman's body.

During breastfeeding, however, it is important to consult your paediatrician before taking one of our supplements.

If you are lactose intolerant, you can take Dimann Flogo tablets.
We do not recommend taking Dimann Flogo if you are allergic to milk protein.

We recommend not continuing with Dimann Flogo in the maintenance phase, but continuing the maintenance phase with Dimann Puro and Dimann Daily.

Yes, you can perform a urinoculture while taking Dimann products.
It is advisable to do it after the acute phase treatment to get a more indicative result on the actual effectiveness of the acute phase therapy.

Yes, if the dosage indicated so requires.
For example, during therapy for the acute phase of bacterial cystitis, Dimann Puro, Dimann Flogo and Dimann Flor can be taken at the same time, when suggested by the package leaflet.

Yes, sporting activity has a positive effect on the prevention of urinary infections.

Suggested precautions to follow

1. drink often to reintroduce fluids lost during physical activity;
2. change wet clothes as soon as you finish training;
3. combine exercise with a balanced diet.

If you often suffer from cystitis in conjunction with your period, we recommend that you do not use an internal tampon, so as not to further irritate the intimate mucous membranes and not to create an environment favourable to bacterial proliferation.

Yes, you can have sex with cystitis.

Suggested precautions to follow

• Facilitate penetration by reducing any difficulties with a good natural lubricant such as Dimann Gel.
• Reduce the likelihood of any bacteria entering the bladder with Dimann Pure.
• Protect the vaginal walls.

It is important because it helps to

1. eliminate bacteria in the bladder
2. promote the expulsion of toxins and micro-organisms harmful to the body;
3. hinder the appearance of bacterial cystitis, even after sporting activity;
4. prevent constipation.

• Spirits and alcohol
• Caffeinated beverages (coffee and tea)
• Spicy foods, such as chilli peppers or spicy cheeses
• Excessively sweet desserts
• Sugary drinks
• Citrus fruits
• Sauces such as mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard
• Sausages
• Fatty condiments such as butter, lard, margarine

No, Dimann Line products do not interfere with the contraceptive pill.

It is important to investigate the causes of cystitis with the help of the doctor.

If the triggering factors can be identified, it will be possible to resolve them and the cystitis phenomenon will gradually subside.

For as long as you wish to prevent with Dimann Daily.

Indicatively, you can stop when the most persistent symptoms have disappeared.

Main causes:

• Constipation
• Sexual intercourse
• Menstrual cycle and menopause
• Pregnancy
• Intimate hygiene and poor eating habits
• Stress and low immune defences

Several causes:

• infectious, caused by bacteria or fungi attacking the bladder;
• chemical, such as the excessive consumption of irritating foods, the use of aggressive intimate hygiene products or the use of specific medications
• physical, such as diabetes, stress or a weak immune system.

Cystitis is an inflammation of the urinary tract caused mainly by bacteria that originate from the intestine (the 'famous' Escherichia coli bacteria being one example). An incorrect diet, therefore, can alter the intestinal bacterial flora, leading bacteria to proliferate more easily.

By promoting intestinal regularity with a healthy diet, one can avoid stool stagnation, prevent bladder irritation and stop the bacteria themselves from attacking.

Yes, the main causes are:

1. Heating: heating systems can dry out the air we breathe and consequently also the mucous membranes of our body (such as the bladder);
2. Use of synthetic, non-breathable winter clothing;
3. Cold: sensitises nerve endings and increases the chance of encountering bladder infections;
4. Immune system under pressure.

Stipsi or constipation can lead to the development of cystitis.
Constipation is characterised by slow evacuation and stagnation of faeces that can lead to the formation and proliferation of colonies of bacteria and their easy ascension to the bladder.

Due to:

• Internal absorbents or synthetic materials, which can create favourable environments for bacteria to develop;
• Already inflamed bladder;
• Hormonal changes.

There are several situations in which a pelvic floor assessment would be recommended, based on specific symptoms:

• Urinary: urinary incontinence and continuous feeling of failure to empty the bladder.
• Sexual: severe difficulty at the moment of penetration, pain during intercourse or decreased sexual pleasure.
• Faecal: constipation or frequent evacuations.

1. Apply Dimann Gel Intimate Lubricant before and after intercourse. Its natural formulation guarantees long-lasting lubrication and prevents the appearance of micro lesions.
2. Empty your bladder immediately after intercourse
3. Change your underwear.
4. Take Dimann Puro capsules to expel bacteria in the bladder and to prevent cystitis after intercourse. On the package insert you will find the specific dosage under "Postcoital cystitis (prevention)".

1. Poor lubrication
2. Contracted pelvic floor
3. Use of contraceptives, vaginal deodorants and antiseptic lotions
4. Poor hygiene habits

Cystitis is not a sexually transmitted disease. However, intercourse can contribute to cystitis in the presence of certain conditions.

If the intimate areas are irritated, the composition of Dimann Gel may cause a burning sensation, because Dimann Gel contains Aloe Vera: a plant with anti-inflammatory as well as healing and antibacterial properties.

No, the natural formulation of Dimann Gel does not hinder or prevent conception.

The pH of urine measures whether the body is in a balanced or unbalanced situation, using a scale of values ranging from 0 to 14.

• If the urine pH is greater than 7, the urine is usually considered alkaline and could be a sign of urinary infections, such as cystitis.
• If the pH is low, below the number 5, the urine is called acidic and could contribute to kidney stone formation or bladder inflammation.
• If the pH value is no lower than 5 and no higher than number 8, it means it is neutral (ideal situation).

1. Intestinal factors: alteration in the health of the intestine (naturally inhabited by thousands of bacteria).
2. Vaginal and hormonal factors: vaginal ph changes, imbalance of the bacterial flora or hormonal changes.
3. Microbial factors and pathogenic biofilms: very resistant protective shield of bacteria, which can silently arise and grow along the bladder walls.
4. Contracted pelvic floor.
5. Improper nutrition.
6. Female anatomy.

1. Haematuria: presence of a few drops of blood in the urine
2. Dysuria: difficulty urinating
3. Chills, cold and fever
4. Nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea

It is cystitis characterised by the absence of bacteria in the urine, but which manifests itself with symptoms similar to those of bacterial cystitis and includes inflammatory changes in the bladder.

To find out if you are suffering from cystitis.
Urine culture is an essential urine test to diagnose the presence of an inflammation or infection in the urinary tract and allows us to precisely identify the species of bacteria present in the urine.

• Urinoculture: urine test that allows us to detect the presence or absence of an infection in the bladder, allowing us to know the type of bacteria that is attacking it.
• Urethral swab: detects an infection at the URETRA, the small tube that connects the bladder with the outside and from which we excrete urine.

The pelvic floor is the muscle complex between the pelvic bones that supports the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, vagina, anus and rectum). It provides sexual pleasure and pelvic steadiness, allowing the body to retain urine and faeces (or expel them).

To understand the health status of the pelvic floor, we recommend a visit to a physiotherapist or midwife specialised in pelvic floor rehabilitation.
