Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder is called cystitis - a dangerous female disease. It can be acute (when it occurs for the first time) and chronic (exacerbation of previously untreated infection). And in either case, the causative agents of cystitis can be staphylococci, streptococci, E. coli (80-90% of cases), sex infections or worms. Women are more likely than men to suffer from this disease. It's all the fault of the anatomical structure.
Not neighborly ...
The proximity of the vagina and the urethra with the rectum allows the infection to almost freely penetrate into the bladder.
Infection cystitis - a dangerous female ailment manifests a aching pain in the lower abdomen, frequent urge to urinate, cuts and burning.
Urine can acquire a murky color with foam, sediment, sometimes with an admixture of blood. Cystitis - a dangerous female illness characterized by heaviness or pain in the lower back. Body temperature rises to 37.5 degrees. In this case, you should immediately seek medical attention, as the probability of infection of the kidneys is high.

Food cravings for pickled, smoked and salted foods, pops, alcohol and coffee can also not have a positive impact on the bladder.
This also includes uncontrolled use of certain drugs, excessive mental stress, irregular sex life, condoms, vaginal contraceptive pills and spermicides (cream, gel), hygiene tampons, flavored pads and non-compliance with basic rules of personal hygiene.
"Honeymoon
In 40% of cases, cystitis coincides with the onset of sexual activity. In the language of physicians it is called "cystitis of the honeymoon". But the doctor-urologist is addressed not only by newly-made wives.
Quite often, cystitis worries pregnant women, young girls and women during menopause. The fact that the neck of the bladder is very sensitive to the amount and ratio of hormones in the blood, so the disease develops against the background of hormonal changes.
Hit the kidneys
It is possible to diagnose cystitis alone, but only the doctor can determine the nature of the disease and prescribe the necessary treatment. The main thing - to identify the pathogen, this will depend on all further therapy that prevents the chronic form of cystitis - a dangerous female disease, which often leads to inflammation of the kidneys (pyelonephritis). What to prescribe - antibacterial drugs, herbs or physiotherapy - the doctor decides. Self-medication is unacceptable! Even if you manage to remove symptoms, the ailment will still progress, which can lead to even more serious diseases of the urogenital system.

Under no circumstances forget about personal hygiene.
Dress in the weather (keep your feet warm!).
Drink more mineral water and all kinds of juices and fruit drinks (cranberry and cowberry).
Do not wear tightly fitting clothing (too tight jeans lead to a worsening of the circulation in the pelvic area).
After each sexual act, try to urinate (by the way, it helps to prevent cystitis "honeymoon").
During "critical" days, change the sanitary napkins and tampons more often.

Incidentally, in the seaside resort, the increased salt deficiency is replenished from the outside. Therefore, after fitness, it is useful to take a salt bath. Having dissolved a pack of rock salt, soak in the bath for 15-20 minutes.
