Immediate Relief and Effective Results In Cystitis through hoemopathy
Cystitis is a bladder infection that happens when the bladder becomes inflamed. You may feel like you need to urinate frequently, even after you’ve emptied your bladder, among other symptoms. It can become a serious health issue. In most cases, the cause of cystitis is a urinary tract infection (UTI). A UTI happens when bacteria enter the bladder or urethra and begin to multiply. This could also happen with naturally occurring bacteria in your body that become imbalanced. These bacteria lead to an infection and cause inflammation. Cystitis does not always come from an infection. For example, certain medicines and hygiene products can also cause inflammation. Treatment for cystitis depends on its underlying cause. Most cases of cystitis are acute or occur suddenly. Interstitial cystitis cases are chronic, or long-term. Cystitis can affect anyone, but it occurs most often in women.
Symptoms of cystitis can include:
the frequent urge to urinate
- urge to urinate after you’ve emptied your bladder
- cloudy or strong-smelling urine
- Low fever if in combination with a UTI
- blood in your urine
- pain during sexual intercourse
- sensations of pressure or bladder fullness
- cramping in your abdomen or back
Causes of cystitis:
