What is cystitis and Urinary Tract Infections
Cystitis is inflammation of your bladder due to an infection or irritation. Usually cystitis only affects your bladder and is known as a lower urinary tract infection (UTI). If the infection is untreated and spreads to your ureters or kidneys, this can be a more serious illness known as an upper urinary tract infection.
Cystitis and other UTIs are a common form of bacterial infection and it is estimated that around half of all women will suffer from this condition at some point in their lives with one in three having suffered by the time they reach the age of 24. Children and men can also get cystitis, but it's not as common.
What are the symptoms of cystitis?
Symptoms of cystitis include:
- A stinging or burning sensation when you pass urine
- The need to pass urine more often
- Feeling you want to urinate urgently, even if you pass very little or no urine
- Cloudy or dark coloured urine
- Blood in your urine
- Pain or tenderness in your lower back or lower abdomen (tummy)
- Feeling generally unwell
Cystitis can be painful, particularly when you pass urine, but it usually clears up within four to nine days. Taking hI-Cran® daily may help prevent the recurrence of cystitis and other UTIs.
Recurrent Cystitis
Once you have suffered from cystitis, the chances of suffering from a recurrence within 2 months is 20% and those who have had three bouts of cystitis are likely to continue suffering.
