What Is Cystitis?
Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, most frequently caused by a bacterial infection. It is very common in women and causes a burning feeling and a frequent urge to pass urine.
How Cystitis Feels
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Passing only small amounts
- Needing to pass urine frequently and urgently
- Lower belly discomfort
- Burning or stinging when passing urine
What Can Cause Cystitis
Bacteria travel up the urethra into the bladder. Dehydration, holding urine in, new sexual activity, wet swimwear, heat and long journeys all make it more likely.
What to Know About Cystitis in Old Town
Kaleici’s steep cobbled lanes, stone houses and old harbour reflect the heat, so long wanders often end in blisters, turned ankles and heat exhaustion. Long days between bathrooms and little water make it more likely. Drink regularly and do not hold urine in.
Travel Guide to Old Town
Today’s Kaleici was the heart of ancient Attalia, and it still has Hadrian’s Gate, an old harbour and Ottoman houses. Trip for travellers: wander the lanes, take a boat trip from the old harbour and shop the small bazaars for ceramics, leather, spices and carpets. For a swim, use the small beaches below the old town or head to Konyaalti.
For Visitors from the UK, Australia, the US and New Zealand
- No language barrier: Dr. Yasbala consults in English, so you can describe symptoms naturally.
- Emergency number: dial 112 in Turkey, not 999, 000, 111 or 911.
- Medicine names differ: paracetamol is called acetaminophen in the US, and brands in Turkey differ from home. Tell the doctor what you normally take, or send a photo of the packet.
- Insurance: check your travel policy before treatment and keep the invoice and prescription we send you.
- Any time zone: the on-demand doctor is available 24/7, whatever the time is back home.
