CYSTITIS Meaning and Definition

1. Cystitis is a medical term used to describe the inflammation of the bladder. It is a common condition, especially among women, and is often caused by a bacterial infection. However, cystitis can also be caused by non-infectious factors such as irritants or certain chemical substances.

   Symptoms of cystitis typically include frequent and urgent urination, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or dark-colored urine, and lower abdominal pain. Other symptoms may include blood in the urine, fatigue, and even a mild fever. The severity of symptoms can vary depending on the cause and individual factors.

   Bacterial cystitis is usually caused by the entry of bacteria into the urethra and subsequent migration into the bladder. This can occur due to improper hygiene practices, sexual activity, or medical procedures involving the urinary tract. Non-infectious cystitis can be caused by irritants such as certain soaps, bubble baths, or even certain medications.

   Treatment for cystitis typically involves the use of antibiotics to eradicate the bacterial infection, if present. Other measures include increasing fluid intake to help flush out the bacteria, avoiding irritants, and maintaining good hygiene practices. Pain relievers may also be prescribed to alleviate discomfort. In some cases, healthcare professionals may recommend further investigation to identify and address underlying causes, particularly for recurrent or chronic cases of cystitis.

   It is important to seek medical attention if symptoms of cystitis persist or worsen, as untreated infections can potentially lead to severe complications such as kidney infection or the formation of bladder stones.
