What is bladder inflammation?

Bladder inflammation is cystitis, which is mainly caused by poor immunity, resulting in bacteria invading the bladder and causing inflammation. It mainly invades the bladder wall through the urothelium, causing inflammation and leading to infection. The most common symptoms are frequent urination, urgency, abnormal urination, etc. After suffering from cystitis, if the symptoms are relatively mild, you should drink more water. If you do not receive good treatment, it may even easily cause pyelonephritis, which is particularly harmful.

What is bladder inflammation?

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.

Cystitis should be treated promptly

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.
