Common Risk Factors And Causes Of Cystitis

Cystitis is bladder inflammation usually caused by an infection, in which case it's called a urinary tract infection (UTI), and it can affect any part of the urinary system such as the urethra, bladder, or kidneys. Cystitis is the most common UTI, and it usually affects women. It comes with inflammation that causes irritation of the bladder, a low-grade fever, an intense urge to urinate more frequently, and pain during urination. While cystitis isn't usually serious and can be treated with antibiotics, it can travel from the bladder to the kidneys where it can cause more severe symptoms.
