cystitis

Cystitis is an inflammation or infection of the bladder, often caused by bacteria entering through the urethra. It commonly results in symptoms like a frequent urge to urinate, a burning sensation during urination, cloudy or strong-smelling urine, and discomfort in the lower abdomen. Women are more prone due to anatomical differences, but it can affect anyone. Treatment usually involves antibiotics to clear the infection, and staying well-hydrated helps. Preventive measures include good hygiene and urinating after sexual activity. If untreated, cystitis can lead to more serious issues, so prompt medical attention is important.
