  https://www.rnpedia.com/nursing-notes/medical-surgical-nursing-notes/cystitis/

  Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder wall, which may be acute or chronic. It is generally accepted to be an ascending infection, with entry of the pathogen via the urethral opening. Noninfectious cystitis is referred to as interstitial cystitis (IC), but this is a poorly understood disorder with an uncertain cause. In this condition, in spite of symptoms of cystitis, the urine is sterile. […] Although cystitis occurs in both men and women, the incidence in women is significantly higher. Sexually active women have 50 times more cystitis than men in general. Females are more susceptible to cystitis because of their short urethra, which is 1 to 2 inches long, as contrasted with the male urethra, which is 7 to 8 inches in length. The placement of the female urethra, which is closer to the anus than is the male urethra, increases the risk of infection from bacteria in the stool.

• #2 Cystitis: What is it, symptoms, types, treatment, and diagnosis

  https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/152997

  Cystitis refers to bladder inflammation. It is a form of urinary tract infection (UTI) that often resolves without treatment. However, a person should seek medical advice if they often have cystitis or if symptoms are severe. […] Although cystitis is not typically a serious condition, it can be uncomfortable and lead to complications without treatment. […] Cystitis usually occurs when bacteria that typically live harmlessly on the skin or in the bowel enter the urethra and bladder. The bacteria then fastens to the lining of the bladder and causes the area to become irritated and inflamed. This is known as a bladder infection. […] Cystitis can affect anyone, regardless of sex or age. But it is more common among females. One reason for this is that females have a shorter urethra that is closer to the anus. This means that bacteria can enter the bladder more easily.

Cystitis can be treated with a course (or more than one course) of antibiotics. […] Cystitis in a child always needs to be investigated, because it may indicate a more serious condition such as urinary reflux (also known as vesicoureteric reflux). […] In some women, one bout of cystitis allows their urinary system to build up a type of immunity and further bouts are rare. For other women, cystitis can occur regularly. […] Although not always backed up by research, some women have found that useful suggestions include: Go to the toilet to pass urine as soon as you feel the urge, rather than holding on.
