What are the symptoms of cystitis?

Symptoms of cystitis usually include frequent urination, urgency, pain or burning during urination, and sometimes cloudy or bloody urine, or even lower abdominal pain. This should not be ignored. If the symptoms persist or worsen, you should seek medical attention immediately to prevent the condition from getting worse.

The root cause of this problem is usually bacterial infection of the bladder mucosa, and in most cases the culprit is E. coli. Sometimes, excessive urine retention, unclean urination habits, improper sexual life or reduced immunity may create conditions for bacteria to "take advantage of the situation" and eventually lead to inflammation. Cystitis can also be caused by non-infectious factors, such as long-term mechanical irritation or side effects of drugs.

Clinically, cystitis may manifest as frequent urination and urgency, which means that people always have the urge to urinate, but the amount of urine each time is very small, or even only a few drops. In more serious cases, the urine may have blood or an unusual odor, which indicates that the inflammation may have spread to a larger area. Some people also feel obvious discomfort in the lower abdomen, similar to a "bloated feeling of urine" all day long.

To prevent or relieve cystitis, you need to drink plenty of water to keep your urine diluted and try to avoid holding your urine. Good hygiene habits and proper nutrition intake are essential to enhancing immunity. If you have repeated attacks or obvious symptoms, it is recommended to go to the hospital for urine tests and targeted treatment in time. Standardized treatment and care can effectively improve symptoms and eliminate discomfort as soon as possible.
