What is cystitis?

Cystitis is inflammation of the urinary bladder. The condition more often affects women, but can affect either sex and all age groups.

Types of Cystitis

There are several types of cystitis:
  • bacterial cystitis, the most common type, which is most often caused by coliform bacteria being transferred from the bowel through the urethra into the bladder
  • interstitial cystitis is considered more of an injury to the bladder and rarely involves the presence of infection. IC patients are often misdiagnosed with UTI/cystitis for years before they are told that their urine cultures are negative. Antibiotics are not used in the treatment of IC. The cause of IC is unknown. However, there is hope. Several therapies are now available.
  • eosinophilic cystitis is a rare form of cystitis that is diagnosed via biopsy. In these cases, the bladder wall is infiltrated with a high number of eosinophils. The cause of EC is also unknown though it has been triggered in children by certain medications.
  • radiation cystitis often occurs in patients undergoing radiation for the treatment of cancer.
  • hemorrhagic cystitis
