Treatment of chronic cystitis in women: what you need to know

Cystitis is difficult to confuse with another ailment. Acute pain during urination, severe discomfort after it ... Women who do not attach importance to the disease and do not treat it, face a chronic form. It is necessary to know the pathology "in person" to eliminate. Treatment of chronic cystitis in women is a topic of concern to almost a third of the population of our planet.

What is the selectivity of the disease?

The fact that representatives of the fair sex face pathology much more often than men, says statistics. Doctors say that often an ailment catches up women aged 18-45 years.

This selectivity of pathology is very simple. Initially, it is worth paying attention to anatomical features. The urethra in women is short and broad, unlike the male. Consequently, the infection is much easier to penetrate into the bladder.

Another factor that provokes in women the occurrence of cystitis, is the neglect of warm things. For the sake of beauty, young women wear short skirts, trousers that sit on the hips, thin pantyhose on cold frosty days.

What is cystitis?

What is the disease? The cavity of the bladder is lined with mucous membranes. Under the influence of certain factors, it can become inflamed. This process was called cystitis. If during a year a person faces relapses of this pathology twice or thrice, chronic cystitis is diagnosed. In women, treatment is prescribed by either a urologist or a gynecologist.
