Cystitis explained
Inflammation of the bladder, generally from bacteria, is cystitis. It is very frequent in women and causes burning and a frequent need to pass urine.
Why cystitis happens
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.
Cihangir: local notes for cystitis
Nightlife is the main draw in Cihangir, and the mix of heat, drinks and short sleep explains many of the morning-after calls to a doctor. Other places within reach include Sirkeci, Laleli, Dolmabahce. Alcohol and late nights make you drink less water and irritate the bladder. Rehydrate and ask us early if it stings.
