Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder is called cystitis. The disease is most often caused by infections: Escherichia coli, streptococci, staphylococci, less commonly ureaplasma (sexual) infections. Fatal microorganisms enter the bladder from the vagina through the urethra (urethra).
Cystitis is almost always accompanied by vaginal inflammation or bacterial vaginosis. The disease can also occur due to hypothermia of the body. Women are affected by the disease. Men rarely have cystitis. The peculiarity is associated with the structure of a woman’s urinary organs: wide and short urethra, the proximity of her location from the vagina and rectum.
Cystitis: symptoms of the disease

frequent urination;
small doses of urine excreted;
the appearance of pain at the end of urination;
the presence of blood in the urine.

The presence of such symptoms requires a visit to the doctor. The specialist will prescribe the appropriate therapy. The basic treatment is an antibacterial drug - Biseptol. If you are sensitive to the drug, it can be replaced with drugs such as Furagin, Furadonin, Nevigramon. Such medications are taken without waiting for the results of urine tests. If the disease has dragged on, it is advisable to switch to antibiotics.
