What causes cystitis?

Treatments for cystitis include antibiotic treatment, drinking plenty of water, and avoiding irritating foods. Common causes include bacterial infection, urinary tract obstruction, and poor personal hygiene. Cystitis is usually caused by bacterial infection, the most common bacteria being Escherichia coli, which enters the bladder through the urethra, causing an inflammatory response. Urinary tract obstruction such as prostate hypertrophy and urinary stones increase the risk of cystitis. Poor personal hygiene, such as delayed urination and unclean sexual life, can also lead to bacterial growth. Low immunity, long-term use of catheters, and female physiological structure may also induce cystitis.

1. Bacterial infection is the main cause of cystitis. The most common bacteria is Escherichia coli. Bacteria enter the bladder through the urethra and cause an inflammatory reaction. When treating, appropriate antibiotics should be selected according to the type of bacteria, such as cephalosporins, quinolones, etc.

2. Urinary tract obstruction such as prostate hypertrophy and urinary tract stones will increase the risk of cystitis. Treatment needs to relieve the obstruction, such as surgical removal of the prostate, lithotripsy, etc., and antibiotic treatment at the same time.

3. Poor personal hygiene, such as not urinating in time and unclean sex, can also lead to bacterial growth. It is recommended to develop good hygiene habits, such as regular urination and timely washing after sex.

4. Low immunity, long-term use of urinary catheters, female physiological structure and other factors may also induce cystitis. Improving immunity, reducing the time of using urinary catheters, and paying attention to female private hygiene can help prevent cystitis.

The treatment and prevention of cystitis requires comprehensive consideration of multiple factors, timely medical treatment and treatment according to the doctor's advice, while paying attention to personal hygiene and adjustments to lifestyle habits to reduce the occurrence and recurrence of cystitis.
