Recurrent cystitis
Recurrent cystitis is a condition where a person experiences repeated episodes of inflammation of the bladder, often due to infection. This leads to symptoms such as a frequent need to urinate, pain during urination, and abdominal discomfort. It can occur after an initial infection has resolved, with some people experiencing multiple episodes within a year. Factors contributing to recurrent cystitis can include anatomical issues, hormonal changes, or lifestyle factors. Treatment may involve antibiotics to clear infections and strategies to prevent further episodes, such as dietary changes or increased hydration.
