acute cystitis

Acute cystitis is a sudden inflammation of the bladder usually caused by a bacterial infection. It results in symptoms like a strong, persistent urge to urinate, burning sensation during urination, cloudy or foul-smelling urine, and pelvic discomfort. It is more common in women but can affect anyone. The infection occurs when bacteria enter the urinary tract and infect the bladder lining. Treatment typically involves antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria. Staying well-hydrated, urinating frequently, and maintaining good hygiene can help prevent and manage the condition. If untreated, it can lead to more serious urinary tract infections.
