Cystitis: causes and treatment of the disease. Video
Cystitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder. The disease is acute and chronic. The diagnosis is made by a urologist after receiving urine tests. At the same time, the causative bacteria are identified, only then can treatment begin with suitable antibiotics.
The causative agents of cystitis are bacteria, most often Escherichia coli. It is especially common in women, since their urethra is closer to the anus than in men, so it is easier for infections to enter the bladder. Staphylococci and streptococci are no less dangerous. In addition, the disease often provokes sexual intercourse, when, as a result of friction, the urethra is irritated and the first symptoms of cystitis appear within 12 hours.

- burning of the genitals

Cystitis can be a consequence of other diseases, therefore, before starting treatment, it is worth undergoing a comprehensive examination of the whole body.
At risk are also the elderly, whose bladder does not empty completely, as well as children with an abnormal structure of the bladder. Cases of cystitis due to a tumor are much less common. Men get sick from prostate inflammation. During pregnancy, cystitis can occur due to hormonal changes and a decrease in the tone of the urinary organs. The infection easily enters the urethra, resulting in discomfort. Here, therapy is prescribed taking into account the recommendations of a gynecologist.
Acute and chronic forms of cystitis
The chronic form of cystitis manifests itself in exacerbations of the disease at least twice a year. In this case, several types of disease are distinguished: latent, persistent and interstitial, in which the walls of the bladder change. The therapy is carried out in a hospital setting with the use of antibiotics.
Acute cystitis is more common in women, while the symptoms of the disease are more pronounced and tend to appear no more than once a year. Such patients are advised to remain calm, avoid sexual intercourse, drink abundantly and monitor nutrition.
