What causes bladder itching?

If the patient feels itchy bladder, it is mostly caused by inflammation. The most common is bacterial cystitis. Due to poor hygiene or inflammatory stimulation, the patient will feel such symptoms. At this time, it is necessary to check in time, and then use medication under the guidance of a doctor. Usually, you should strengthen your diet and drink more water, which will help promote the metabolism of inflammatory body fluids.

Experts remind: Cystitis should be treated in time

When you first get cystitis, the symptoms may be very mild, with only bladder irritation symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating. If treated, the condition will heal quickly. If not treated promptly, bacteria will ascend from the bladder to the renal pelvis, causing pyelonephritis. Therefore, if symptoms of cystitis appear, you should seek medical attention and take medication as soon as possible.

In fact, 50%-70% of urinary tract infections are cystitis. According to surveys in Taiwan and other places, women are most susceptible to cystitis. In addition, cystitis is prone to occur after long-term urine retention, after sexual intercourse, after menstruation, and after urethral or gynecological instrument examinations. The causative bacteria are mostly Escherichia coli. Clinically, cystitis is divided into acute and chronic types. Acute cystitis develops suddenly and the course of the disease generally lasts 1-2 weeks before resolving on its own or after treatment. Its characteristics are "acute" onset, "severe" inflammatory response, and "shallow" lesions; while the symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to those of acute cystitis, but the degree is milder, and its characteristics are "slow" onset, "mild" inflammatory response, and "deep" lesions.

Causes of cystitis in women

A normal bladder has strong resistance to bacteria. It is difficult for bacteria to invade the bladder wall through the urothelium. Bacteria in the distal urethra generally cannot enter the bladder. Even if they enter the bladder, under normal circumstances, they will flow out of the body with the excretion of urine, preventing the bacteria from staying and multiplying in the bladder and causing infection. However, when the upper urinary tract is infected, the lower urinary tract is obstructed, or the bladder itself is diseased and the resistance is reduced, the normal bladder mucosal anti-infection barrier is easily destroyed, and the bladder is very susceptible to infection. Women have a shorter urethra and the urethral opening is close to the anus, so they are more likely to be contaminated and develop cystitis.
