Quite often, a woman encounters cystitis after hypothermia. Therefore, she believes that she has a bladder. However, hypothermia is not the cause of the disease, but only a predisposing factor.
Inflammation of the bladder can cause both opportunistic microorganisms and STDs. Women suffer from cystitis more often. This is due to the fact that they have a shorter and wider urethra.
Therefore, the microorganisms that are in them enter the bladder. Normally, it provides for protective mechanisms, but under certain conditions they do not work. This occurs with hypothermia, overfatigue, decreased immunity, and exposure to a number of other factors.
If a woman has a cold in her bladder, she should immediately visit a urologist. And before that, it is better to make a clinical analysis of urine and its culture. The result of the first study will be ready on the same day, if you pay for urgency, then in a couple of hours.
The manifestations of cystitis are extremely unpleasant, therefore, if he visited for the first time, then everything must be done so that he does not become chronic. Otherwise, this disease will torment all life, significantly affecting its quality.
Therefore, before a visit to the doctor, it is better not to drink any drugs so that the test results are reliable, and adequate therapy is prescribed. Do not self-medicate. They fight acute cystitis only with antibiotics, and natural uroseptics and herbs are auxiliary drugs.
Thermal procedures significantly relieve pain, for example, applying a warm heating pad between the legs. However, the opinions of doctors regarding such procedures are different.
Some experts believe that they contribute to the ascent of the infection, that is, its penetration into the kidneys and ureters. And pyelonephritis is a much more serious disease than cystitis.
If the bladder has a cold, then a person may encounter the following symptoms:
- frequent urination with a small amount of urine;
- turbidity of urine, its unpleasant odor;
- soreness, pain at the end of urination;
- slight rise in temperature;
- there may be blood and pus in the urine.
It is not necessary that all the symptoms appear.
Cystitis is a fairly common disease. Every fourth woman is familiar with him, and 10% of the fair sex suffer from his chronic form, which turns their lives into hell.
The following factors can contribute to the fact that a person has frozen a bladder, the symptoms of which are described above:

A woman should be washed regularly. This must be done in the morning and evening, as well as after bowel movement. Because even the best toilet paper is not able to remove everything. According to statistics, in 95% of cases, the causative agent of cystitis is E. coli.
The implementation of these recommendations will avoid cystitis. However, if a woman once already has a cold in her bladder, she will be forced to follow them to rule out relapses. Below are a few more tips on sexual hygiene.
During too active sex in women, the urethra is injured and an alien flora is thrown into it. Therefore, after each act, you need to urinate.

The cause of the disease is not hypothermia itself, but infection in the bladder. Significantly reduce the likelihood of this will allow the implementation of the simple rules listed above.
