Prevention of cystitis

Cystitis is one of a group of urinary tract infections caused by bacterial infection from the area around the urethra.





Risk factors that cause cystitis

It mostly occurs in women more than men. This is because women have a short urethra that is close to the vagina and anus. This makes it easy for germs to enter the bladder through the urethra. While men have a longer urethra and are further away from the anus. The chance of germs passing into the bladder is much less. Including various risk factors as follows:

1. Holding urine for a long time will cause germs to grow well. Bacterial accumulation occurs, which easily leads to infection.

2. Elderly people due to poor hygiene in the genital area. Especially those who are sick with illnesses and cannot help themselves or those who lack someone to take care of them closely. Rarely moves, drinks little water, so urine stays stuck or pools in the bladder. Germs and bacteria grow well.

3. Pregnant women, as their gestational age increases, the baby's head in the womb will put pressure on it, causing urine to build up in the bladder, causing the urine to not be completely drained. Resulting in easily causing infection.

4. Maintenance of hygiene in the genital area is not good, especially for women if it is not cleaned properly.

5. Patients with congenital diseases such as diabetes and patients taking immunosuppressive drugs. If the disease is not controlled well, there is a chance of infection easily.

6. Sexually transmitted infections

7. Vaginal douching with antibiotics

8. Hormonal changes in postmenopausal women.
