Understanding cystitis
Cystitis is bladder inflammation, most often from a bacterial infection. It is very frequent in women and causes a burning feeling and a frequent urge to pass urine.
How cystitis feels
- Burning or stinging when passing urine
- Passing only small amounts
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Lower belly discomfort
- Needing to pass urine often and urgently
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.
Care and treatment for cystitis
Your symptoms are reviewed, the doctor judges whether it is an infection and prescribes a short course of antibiotics where appropriate; collect the e-prescription at a nearby pharmacy. Treatment can involve a short course of antibiotics chosen for you and simple pain relief.
- Use simple painkillers as directed on the pack until you are assessed
- Pass urine regularly and do not hold it in
- Drink plenty of water
- Change out of wet swimwear promptly
