The first "honorable" place in urology is occupied by diseases of the bladder in women. Symptoms are usually pronounced, patients complain of abdominal pain, pain during emptying and white discharge. Due to the anatomical structure of the organ, representatives of the weaker sex are several times more likely to have abnormalities and defects of the bladder, as well as inflammatory processes, polyps, fistulas, tumors, etc.
The most common typically female disease is cystitis. Frequent hypothermia, STD infections, stress provoke diseases of the bladder in women. Symptoms are manifested in the form of frequent trips to the toilet, pain during urination, a feeling of incomplete emptying and unbearable pain during movement. Many girls are embarrassed to contact a gynecologist, delaying the problem and exacerbating the situation.
Men in this regard are easier - they rarely have such deviations. And the thing is that the bladder in women is much shorter, and, accordingly, harmful microorganisms are much easier to penetrate into it. In addition, in girls, the lymphatic system is directly connected with the genitals, which increases the risk of pathological reactions in case of any inflammation.
According to medical statistics, every fourth representative of the fair sex suffered from this ailment in her life, and every 8th has a chronic stage of cystitis.

Throughout life, there are various diseases of the bladder in women. Symptoms are similar in almost all pathologies. Another disease that occurs mainly in the weaker sex is leukoplakia. It is characterized by pathological changes in the mucous membrane that lines the bladder.
To the end, science does not know the etiology and characteristics of the course of the disease. Possible factors of its development are considered to be chronic and viral infections of the urinary system, as well as hormonal imbalance.
