PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder and is usually caused by the bacterium E. coli. Treatment includes drinking plenty of water and taking urinary alkalisers and antibiotics. Regular and severe attacks need to be investigated and treated by your GP.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most cases of cystitis are caused by a type of Escherichia coli (E. coli) bacteria. But other types of bacteria can cause infections, too. Bacterial bladder infections may happen in women after sex.

Detailed explanation-3: -Urinary tract infection, most frequently caused by Escherichia coli, is one of the most common bacterial infections in humans.

Detailed explanation-4: -Women are particularly at risk for UTIs because their urethra sits close to the anus, where E. coli is present. It’s also shorter than a man’s, giving the bacteria easier access to the bladder, where the majority of UTIs occur, and the rest of the urinary tract.
