Cystitis: Symptoms And Causes Of The Disease

Cystitis is an inflammatory disease of the mucous membrane of the bladder. In most cases, cystitis develops as a result of the effects on the human body of a bacterial infection, this type of disease belongs to the group of urinary tract infections. The most inflammatory diseases are women, usually young and middle-aged.

The vulnerability of the female to this kind of disease is explained by the characteristic structure of the urethra, which has a very short urethra, which in turn affects the body's protection against various kinds of bacteria that can penetrate the bladder with impunity and cause its further inflammation.

Men from the infection of the urinary tract protects the long urethra and prostate gland, which is located at the entrance to the bladder; It acts as a barrier-filter, does not allow infection to rise higher in the bladder and cause an inflammatory process.

The main symptoms of cystitis are:

• Frequent urination
• Pain in the process of urination
• Bladder
• The presence of droplets of blood in the urine

In addition to the above symptoms, patients note pain in the lower abdomen, as well as the presence of an unpleasant odor in urine.

The main cause of cystitis is the penetration into the bladder of microorganisms and bacteria through the urethra.

Such factors as sexual contact, pregnancy, atrophic colpitis contribute to the development of inflammation of the bladder in women.

In men, however, incomplete emptying of the bladder, as well as various structural abnormalities of the urinary tract, usually leads to the onset of the inflammatory process.

Chronic inflammation of the bladder. Interstitial cystitis in the basis of which there is no bacterial infection, does not respond to antibiotic treatment. Symptoms of this disease are most painful for the patient, as a rule, they include cutting pains in the lower abdomen and frequent urge to urinate.

To ease the condition of a patient with cystitis, it is sufficient to take such simple measures as daily intake of a large amount of fluids and compliance with personal hygiene rules.

The bulk of infections of the lower urinary tract, including bacterial cystitis, can be successfully treated with antibiotics - the inflammatory disease reacts quickly enough to antibiotic therapy.

In women with frequent relapses (repetition of the disease), as well as in children and men, a wider survey is conducted to subsequently identify possible causes of the disease, with the aim of eliminating or preventing more serious complications from the kidneys.
