Taksim and Istiklal Avenue are crowded day and night, so tummy bugs, colds and tired feet are common. Alcohol and late nights make you drink less water and irritate the bladder. Rehydrate and ask us early if it stings.
Travel Guide to Taksim
Taksim is the hub of modern Istanbul, where Istiklal Avenue runs past galleries, cafes and shops. Trip for travellers: ride the nostalgic tram, visit Galata Tower and shop for fashion, books and street snacks. For the water, take a Bosphorus ferry.
What Is Cystitis?
Inflammation of the bladder, usually from bacteria, is cystitis. Women are affected often, with burning on passing urine and needing to go frequently.

Typical Symptoms
- Needing to pass urine commonly and urgently
- Passing only small amounts
- Burning or stinging when passing urine
- Cloudy or strong-smelling urine
