What causes cystitis? It may be an infection!

Cystitis is a common urinary tract infection in clinical practice, but many people still do not know what causes cystitis. This disease is mainly related to bacterial infection and is more common in women. In addition to bacterial infection, the patient's bad living habits are also a factor causing cystitis.

1. Bacterial infection

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.

2. Bad living habits

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.

3. Urinary tract obstruction and urination disorder

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

4. Lower urinary tract infection

Cystitis is a lower urinary tract infection. Due to the anatomical characteristics of women, the urethra is short and wide, and the urethral opening is located in the perineum. The local area is moist and airtight, which makes it more likely for bacteria to grow under external influences (such as sexual intercourse). Bacteria are squeezed into the bladder and infected. Therefore, in order to prevent urinary tract infection, it is necessary to clean the perineum every day or even several times a day, rinse the perineum before and after intercourse, and urinate after intercourse.

5. Others

The infection route of cystitis is first of all ascending infection, such as male prostatitis, female paraurethral glanditis, and various transurethral examinations and treatments. The second is descending infection, such as infection secondary to the kidneys. Another way is through lymphatic transmission and direct spread, such as when infections of adjacent organs such as vaginitis and cervicitis occur.
