UTI - Cystitis

Cystitis is a common and often painful condition characterised by inflammation of the bladder. It is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) and predominantly affects women, though men and children can also develop cystitis. The inflammation is usually caused by a bacterial infection, but it can also be a result of irritation or other underlying health issues. Recognising the symptoms and seeking prompt treatment is crucial to prevent complications and ensure a swift recovery. Practicing good hygiene, staying hydrated, urinating after intercourse, and avoiding potential irritants can help reduce the risk of developing cystitis.
