Understanding Cystitis
Inflammation of the bladder, typically from bacteria, is cystitis. It is very frequent in women and causes burning and a frequent need to pass urine.
How Cystitis Feels
- Lower belly discomfort
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Needing to pass urine often and urgently
- Passing only small amounts
- Burning or stinging when passing urine
Common Triggers
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.
How Cystitis Is Treated
The physician asks about your symptoms, decides whether an infection is likely and prescribes a suitable short course of antibiotics where appropriate. The e-prescription can be collected at a local pharmacy. Typical choices are a short course of antibiotics chosen for you and simple painkillers.
- Drink plenty of water
- Change out of wet swimwear promptly
- Pass urine regularly and do not hold it in
- Use simple pain relief as directed on the pack until you are assessed
