Can women get cystitis?

Cystitis is a common urinary system disease in clinical practice. This disease is not only common in men but also in women. The reason why women are more susceptible to cystitis is due to their physiological structure. Because the female vagina is close to the urethra, it is easy to be infected by bacteria. However, there are many other causes of female cystitis. Today, I will tell you what specific factors cause it.

Bacterial infection (35%):

Cystitis has specific and nonspecific bacterial infections. The former refers to bladder tuberculosis. Nonspecific cystitis is caused by Escherichia coli, Escherichia coli, Proteus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Streptococcus faecalis and Staphylococcus aureus. Infection with pyogenic bacteria. The causes include stones, foreign bodies, tumors or obstructive lesions, including urinary dysfunction caused by nervous system diseases.

Bad living habits (30%):

Frequent and unclean sexual life, sharing bath towels, smoking and drinking, frequent consumption of spicy food, holding urine, sitting for a long time and other bad habits can lead to urinary tract infection, which in turn causes cystitis. Therefore, maintaining good living habits is an important preventive measure.

Urinary tract obstruction and urination disorder (20%):

Without the flushing effect of urine, residual urine becomes a good culture medium for bacterial growth.

Typical symptoms: Frequent urination (80%) Painful urination (77%) Urgent urination (75%) Reduced bladder capacity (71%) Low back pain with frequent urination, urgency, and pain (70%) Foamy urine (67%)

There is burning pain in the urethra during urination, frequent urination, often accompanied by urgency, which is similar to urinary incontinence in severe cases. The frequency and urgency of urination are often particularly obvious, reaching 5 to 6 times per hour or more, with a small amount of urine each time, even only a few drops. There may be lower abdominal pain at the end of urination. The urine is turbid and sometimes hematuria is present, often evident in the terminal stage.

In fact, the reason why women suffer from cystitis is ultimately caused by poor personal hygiene. Therefore, in order to effectively treat cystitis, you should not only receive regular treatment in the hospital, but also develop good hygiene habits. At the same time, you should mainly eat light food and participate in more outdoor sports to enhance your personal ability to resist germs.
