Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder, usually caused by a bladder infection. It’s a common type of urinary tract infection (UTI), particularly in women, and is usually more of a nuisance than a cause for serious concern. Mild cases will often get better by themselves within a few days.

Detailed explanation-2: -Mild cystitis usually clears up by itself after a few days without any specific treatment. There are lots of things you can do to try to ease your symptoms. Take over-the-counter painkillers, such as paracetamol and ibuprofen. Drink more fluids, such as water, to help flush out the infection.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cystitis is usually caused by bacteria from poo getting into the tube that carries urine out of your body (urethra). Women have a shorter urethra than men. This means bacteria are more likely to reach the bladder and cause an infection.
