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: -Bladder infections can lead to inflammation of the bladder (cystitis). Symptoms include pain and burning with urination, increased frequency of urination and sometimes abdominal pain. The inflammation usually improves after a course of antibiotics.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cystitis can be treated with a course (or more than one course) of antibiotics. Regular or severe attacks of cystitis need to be investigated by a GP, because an underlying disorder such as kidney stones or a kidney infection could be the trigger.

Detailed explanation-4: -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.
