Cystitis is a common condition found more commonly in females. It is a condition where there is an inflammation of urinary bladder, frequently caused by bacterial infection that has gained access to the bladder.

Cystitis is more commonly found in women because a woman’s urethra is shorter than a man’s urethra, making it easier for bacteria to enter and infect the female bladder.

Infection can occur when bacteria from the anus are transferred to the urethra.

Bacteria can be transferred by the following ways:

While sexual intercourse

• By while using sanitary napkins
