What is cystitis?
Inflammation of the bladder, usually from bacteria, is cystitis. It is very frequent in women and causes a burning feeling and a frequent urge to pass urine.
What can cause cystitis
Germs climb the urethra to the bladder, helped along by not drinking enough, delaying the toilet, new partners, damp swimwear, hot weather and long trips.
Signs of cystitis to look for
- Needing to pass urine frequently and urgently
- Lower belly discomfort
- Passing only small amounts
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
