}} Cystitis is the inflammation of the bladder. The condition primarily affects women, but can affect all age groups from either sex.

Types

There are several types of cystitis:

bacterial cystitis, the most common type, which is most often caused by coliformbacteriabeing transferred from the bowelthrough the urethrainto the bladder
interstitial cystitis, which is rare, difficult to diagnose, and does not involve foreign organisms
hemorrhagic cystitis

Bacterial Cystitis: Prevention and Treatment

Juice therapy of cranberryjuice is known to prevent cystitis, although it has not been discovered yet why cranberry juice has this effect.

An antibioticis the initial treatment for bacterial cystitis (see also in urinary tract infection). Drinking lots of water will usually result in the removal of the bacteria from the bladder, and the cystitis will clear after a week or so. Natural remedies and some drugs which counteract the acidity of urine, such as Cystopurin (potassium citrate), can help to relieve symptoms, but will not clear up the infection. The old remedy was barley water.
