What to know about cystitis in Moda
A night out in Moda often ends with dehydration, a sore throat or a twisted ankle by morning. Close by are Bagdat Caddesi, Cihangir, Sirkeci, which share the same medical services. Alcohol and late nights make you drink less water and irritate the bladder. Rehydrate and ask us early if it stings.
