“It hurts a little when I pee … Is this cystitis?”
Even if you have this kind of concern, it is hard to consult with people.
This article explained in detail the differences in symptoms between men and women from the causes of cystitis such as stress and sex!
Structure of cystitis
Cystitis first develops when bacteria from the intestines are transferred from the anus to the vagina, urethra, bladder, and renal pelvis.
The women’s body is structured close to the vagina and anus, and the urethra is shorter than that of men, making it easier for bacteria to enter the bladder, increasing the risk of developing bladder inflammation.
Cause of cystitis
Deterioration of immunity due to stress
If you are under excessive stress, the balance of hormones breaks down.
Then, immunity and resistance are reduced, so bacteria that come in are easy to reproduce, and bladder inflammation occurs.
When you feel stressed, you often go to the bathroom, and if you have symptoms such as residual urine, you should be careful.
Coliform bacillus is attached to sex
Sex makes it easier to attach E. coli around the urinary tools. It touches the mucous membrane around the urethra, making it more prone to small wounds, causing bacteria to invade the bladder and cause bladder inflammation.
If you hold your urine too much
If urine is held and urine is collected in the bladder for a long time, germs and others are likely to reproduce in the bladder and bladder inflammation can occur.
In addition, bladder inflammation can occur for the following reasons.
- It is easy to develop even if the body’s immune system is degraded due to lack of sleep, cold, or overwork.
- In some cases, the medicine you took and the irritation of food may cause it.
- If sanitary pads are not replaced diligently, germs are likely to reproduce.
