Cystitis Explained
Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, most often caused by a bacterial infection. It is very common in women and causes burning and a frequent need to pass urine.
Why Cystitis Happens
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.
Typical Symptoms
- Burning or stinging when passing urine
- Lower belly discomfort
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Needing to pass urine often and urgently

Kilyos suits walkers and explorers, but sun, ticks, insects and uneven paths mean minor injuries and bites are common. Nearby you will also find Heybeliada, Istanbul Airport, Sabiha Gokcen Airport. On long tours bathrooms are rare. Drink regularly, do not hold it in and contact us early.
