In summer, with the increase in temperatures and humidity , cases of cystitis among women are more and more frequent.
What is cystitis ?
Cystitis is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, usually of bacterial origin, caused by a bacterium called Escherichia Coli .
Cystitis represent the most frequent urinary tract infections , based on the type of clinical manifestation and the course of the disease it is possible to distinguish acute from chronic forms.
Symptoms of cystitis
Acute cystitis
The acute form manifests itself with an irritative symptomatology and includes an increase in urination frequency and a constant feeling of having to urinate.
The urine can be smelly or even with traces of blood, in this case we speak of hemorrhagic cystitis.
Chronic cystitis
Chronic cystitis is caused by a structural deficit of the bladder mucosa which can favor the maintenance of the inflammatory state .
The bacterial flora , if healthy and balanced, is a barrier that prevents direct contact between the bacteria and the bladder epithelium.

Wet swimsuits , the use of tampons , contact with sand or the use of synthetic clothing also facilitate the onset of the disorder.
