The bladder is located in the lower abdomen, in the pelvic area. It has the ability to stretch and contract. The urethra is presented in the form of a tube attached to the bladder. Through it, urine is excreted during emptying.
Inflammatory processes in the bladder and urethra lead to the fact that there is a burning sensation, it becomes painful to write. In medicine, this condition is called cystitis. This inflammation is triggered by an infection in the bladder. Women are more susceptible to cystitis, due to the fact that their urethra is smaller.
As a rule, cystitis is amenable to therapeutic effects. With competent and timely treatment, it is possible not only to alleviate its symptoms, in particular when it is painful to write, but also to eliminate the root cause of inflammation. In the absence of proper therapy, cystitis can provoke the development of complications, which, in particular, include pyelonephritis. Caused by the penetration of a bacterial infection into the urinary tract, the disease often contributes to the development of serious, and in some cases life-threatening, consequences. These include, in particular, sepsis and renal failure.
Early diagnosis helps to reduce the likelihood of complications. Therefore, even if it’s not very painful to write (and in some cases the feeling can be compared with slight discomfort), you should visit a doctor. An undetected disease can go to a chronic stage. In this case, getting rid of it is much more difficult.
The main symptoms of cystitis, in addition to painful writing (especially at the end) include hematuria (pink or bloody color of urine), fever, rapid urge, unpleasant (fetid) smell of urine, and a small volume of it during emission. In addition, chills and fever are noted. Soreness during urination can also cause a mental disorder. In some cases, people who are painful to write, start to feel fear of emptying.
It should be noted that the urethra, the bladder are sterile, that is, they do not contain bacteria or other microorganisms. Inflammation can develop as a result of penetration of an external infection. Pathogenic bacteria also have the property of penetrating the urethra and the bladder from other organs through the blood.
The cause of cystitis can be an enlargement or inflammation of the prostate (in men), irritation caused by intimate hygiene products (aromatic soap, gels, deodorants). In some cases, inflammation develops after certain types of radiation therapy or chemotherapy. Risk factors include too active sex life (in women), chronic diseases that affect the state of the immune system (diabetes, AIDS, and others), kidney and kidney stone disease, cancer, and the presence of a permanent catheter in the bladder.
Cystitis treatment
It hurts to write to a woman during pregnancy. At this time, she should take care not only of the unborn child, but also of herself. Therefore, if any (more or less important) problem occurs, you should consult a doctor. In many cases, pregnant women do not pay attention to discomfort and pain when urinating. However, the causes of this condition can be very serious. Pain during urination can develop as a result of uterine pressure on the bladder. As a result of complete emptying does not occur. Stagnant urine causes infection and provokes more frequent urge. The bladder may become inflamed. The presence of blood in the urine of pregnant women in some cases is a very alarming signal. Perhaps this is a threat of miscarriage.
It should be noted that it is not always in people prone to the development of this pathology, it necessarily arises. At the same time, not all patients diagnosed with cystitis are at risk.
