What are the obvious symptoms of cystitis in women?

There are always some women around us who like to hold their urine. This may be related to personal habits, or it may be because they are too busy at work to have time to go to the toilet. Holding urine frequently is very harmful to the kidneys and bladder, and can easily cause cystitis, a very serious disease that is difficult to treat and prone to recurrence. So, what symptoms do female cystitis patients experience?

Symptoms of female cystitis are divided into acute and chronic

1. Acute cystitis:

Acute cystitis develops suddenly, often after excessive fatigue, cold, prolonged urination, or sexual intercourse. The course of the disease usually lasts 1 to 2 weeks and disappears on its own or after treatment. Its characteristics are "acute" onset, "severe" inflammatory response, and "shallow" lesion site. Common symptoms include frequent urination, urgency, pain, pyuria, terminal hematuria, and even gross hematuria throughout the entire process. In severe cases, the bladder spasms due to inflammatory stimulation, making it impossible for the bladder to store urine, resulting in frequent urination that cannot be counted, and a phenomenon similar to urinary incontinence. Because the site of acute inflammatory lesions is "shallow", the absorption capacity of the bladder mucosa is very weak, and frequent urination allows pyuria to be discharged in time, so the systemic symptoms of simple acute cystitis are mild and usually without fever.

2. Chronic cystitis:

The symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to those of acute cystitis, but are milder. It is characterized by a "slow" onset, a "mild" inflammatory response, and a "deep" lesion site.

There is no high fever, and the symptoms may last for several weeks or occur intermittently, causing the patient to feel weak and emaciated, and experience discomfort or dull pain in the waist, abdomen, bladder and perineum. Sometimes, symptoms of neurasthenia such as dizziness and vertigo may occur.

To prevent cystitis, women must pay attention to their personal hygiene, urinate in time before and after sexual intercourse, and never hold urine. You can drink some fruit juice, which can help the body get rid of bacteria attached to the urethra. Drinking plenty of water on a daily basis can help detoxify and prevent bacteria from entering the body.
