What is cystitis?
Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, which is usually caused by a bacterial infection. It is the most common urinary tract infection (UTI) and is more common in women. Most cases are mild and often get better within a few days. Some people get cystitis on a regular basis and may need long term treatment or prevention.
What is interstitial cystitis?
Interstitial cystitis is a poorly understood condition, with bladder inflammation that causes pain, pain in the pelvis, and pressure in the bladder. The pain can be mild to severe. It can also make you want to pee more often, and in smaller amounts.
What causes cystitis?
The main cause of cystitis is when the bacteria that lives in your bowel and on your skin, gets into the bladder. It gets in through the tube that is responsible for removing the pee (pee) from the body, known as the urethra.
The main cause of cystitis is when certain bacteria, which usually live in your bowels or on your skin, get into your bladder and cause an infection. These bacteria infect the bladder by travelling up the urethra. Cystitis is a lot more common in women because the urethra is shorter, so the bacteria has a shorter distance to travel to cause a bladder infection.
Some of the other things that can increase your risk of cystitis include:
- wiping your bottom from the back to the front when you go to the toilet
- having sex
- pregnancy
- using a diaphragm as contraception
- having a tube inserted in your urethra to drain the bladder (a catheter)
- if you are younger than 1 or older than 75
- diabetes
- a weak immune system
- lowered oestrogen levels due to menopause
Why do I keep getting cystitis?
Some people get cystitis often, which is known as recurrent cystitis. This when you get more than one infection in a 6 month period.
The most common reasons for getting cystitis on a regular basis, include:
- not recovering properly from cystitis in the past
- not emptying your bladder properly
- having sex too soon after having cystitis
- your immune function not working properly
- using some certain soaps, deodorants, wipes, talc, and bubble baths
