Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder with impaired function and changes in the urine tests.Mostly the cause of cystitis is an infection.
Characteristics of cystitis in men
Men suffer from cystitis much less often than women.After all, the urethra in men is long and narrow.
The cause of cystitis in men is often problems with the prostate gland (inflammation, tumor), which are transmitted by infection, narrowing (stricture) of the urethra, kidney disease (kidneys, pyelonephritis).Therefore, it is assumed that in men the inflammation of the bladder is a more serious disease than in a woman.The disease is more difficult and requires a mandatory visit by a urologist.The causal means of infectious cystitis are most common bacteria, rare viruses and fungi.
Symptoms of inflammation of the bladder
The symptoms of inflammation of the sheet of men take the symptoms of urethritis:
- an increased urination to several times an hour;
- The assignment of urine in small parts, the feeling that the urine did not completely come out;

The causes of cystitis
Provoking the occurrence of cystitis in men:
- Penetration of the infection from the kidneys (descending path) or from the urethra (ascending);
- incomplete emptying of the bladder (due to an increase in the prostate or narrowing of the urethra);
- recent urological manipulations (catheters of the bladder);
- Frequent changes in the sexual partner (the risk of maintaining a gonorrhea, chlamydia and other transmitted sexual diseases increases, which in turn increases the risk of cystitis);
- Reduction of immunity, especially in older people or in people with diabetes.
Acute, chronic, hemorrhagic cystitis
Chronic cystitisIn men, this occurs with inadequate or improper treatment of acute cystitis.If you do not remove the provocative factor in the first illness and do not get rid of the infection in the bladder, the process will go deeper.The symptoms of chronic cystitis are similar to the symptoms in an acute form of disease, but less pronounced.Chronic cystitis is tightened two or several times a year.A man with chronic bladder infection has to undergo a comprehensive examination of a urologist, for example to miss oncological serious diseases.
Hemorrhagic cystitis -This is an inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, which is accompanied by the release of blood in the urine.Hemorrhagic cystitis occurs quite often in men, especially in patients who suffer from prostate adenoma.The urine with such bladder infection becomes dark red.Change the color of the urine into a dark red red event to go to the doctor urgently.If the hemorrhagic combination is not treated for a long time, iron deficiency anemia develops because red blood cells and hemoglobin are lost in urine.
Treatment of cystitis
If a man is sick with cystitis, this requires special attention from both the patient and the doctor.Most likely, comprehensive treatment of the entire genitarian system is required.First of all, a consultation of a urologist is required that carries out a survey and inspection.After the inspection, the specialist will prescribe the necessary tests and research (necessarily an analysis of the urine and ultrasound examination of the urea system).Based on the data obtained, the urologist reveals the cause and provokes the factor.
It should be noted that antibiotics are most frequently prescribed in the treatment of cystitis.These drugs must be taken exactly as a doctor is prescribed.It is important not to interrupt the course of treatment, even if the symptoms of the disease have disappeared and the borehole is good.Pain relievers and medication that relieve inflammation are often prescribed in men to relieve the condition.That means it will be easier at the beginning of the treatment.
