Cystitis
Cystitis : a urinary infection
If you often feel you want to pie,
if you feel burning pain,
if your urine is dark and smelly…
You probably have a urinary infection.

     Bacterias multiply themselves inside the bladder and irritate it. This is called a cystitis. In general, its occurrence is favoured by the fact that you do not drink a lot. Microbes, (which in majority migrate from the vagina to the bladder) multiply themselves and are not eliminated.

     Rarely, cystitis can occur because you have a urine reflux toward the kidney, a stone, bladder polyp, or simply because you have germs getting stuck to the mucosa and stay in the bladder. Cystitis is not a sexual transmitted disease.

Warning !
If cystitis occur more than 3 times per year, if there is blood in urine, if you have fever or kidney pain, it is not a regular cystitis.
Resolutions
     An antibiotic treatment will treat the cystitis. In the case of recurrent cystitis, the treatment will last for several months. Your doctor or your urologist will advice you on the length of the treatment, and to avoid recurrence.

TO AVOID CYSTITIDES

To avoid cystitis: DRINK !
If you do not drink enough, your urine will be concentrated: the bladder will get filed more slowly and you go to the bathroom less.
The microbes stay in the bladder and multiply (those in the vagina climb up to the bladder because the urethra is short)
If you drink around 1.5L of water per day, the urine are diluted, you go more often to the bathroom and the microbes are eliminated more quickly.
