Knowing More About Cystitis
Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder and women are worst
affected even though it can affect both the sexes. There are
different types of cystitis such as bacterial cystitis which is
supposedly most common, the other one is the interstitial
cystitis and is known to be difficult to diagnose which involve
foreign organisms and hemorrhagic cystitis.
It is an infection which is caused by interstitial bacteria and
is the most common reason for causing cystitis and is prevalent
among women. As women have very short urethra (the tube through
which the urine passes from the bladder). There are very less
chances of the urine to be infected as it is very sterile and
you would hardly find bacteria present. It is also known that in
a women's lifetime there are 20 to 30 percent women who can get
affected by cystitis.
It is very hard to detect the symptoms as the bacteria to be
present in the bladder is caused when a person is unable to
complete the urinating process is called as urine retention. A
small drop which is left behind is enough to have the presence
of bacteria and this can be the beginning of cystitis. This can
be avoided by some simple and easy steps which includes your
hygiene.
As interstitial cystitis is very difficult to understand there
are some common symptoms which can be noticed in patients with
cystitis. The frequency of urination increases by five times
which may exceed 50 times or more in 24-hour period. There is
chronic pelvic pain, uneasiness in your stomach, burning
sensation during urination. With the increasing frequency there
is also an increasing urgency to urinate which is mostly
followed with stomach pain, pressure, spasm and bladder pain.
Once detected get it treated by your physician. It may include
controlling your diet and in severe cases surgery can also be a
solution.
