The causes of cystitis (reasons why the bladder becomes inflamed), are many. We will discuss only cystitis from infectious causes and, specifically, bacterial cystitis, the most frequent and the most common since the other forms of cystitis are by the physician easily traced to their causes.
It is important to remember that:
- When cystitis recurs over time, it is critical to consult your doctor. Alterations that promote infection should be ruled out.
- The bacteria that cause cystitis are normally present in the intestinal flora and come from there to colonize the urinary tract.
- the highest frequency of cystitis is observed in women, especially in childbearing age, related to anatomical conformation and behavioral habits.
- Cystitis should not be underestimated when it occurs frequently: consult your doctor to prevent complications and kidney involvement.
