Bacteria: Cystitis is a medical term for bladder/urinary tract inflamation. It is usually caused byan infection from e. Coli, a bacteria that we normally have in our GI tract. It is more common in women due to how close the urinary tract is to the anal area. E. Coli may be introduced to the urinary system by wiping towards the front after going to the bathroom or during sex. See your pcp.

Cystitis Etiology: Cystitis is usually caused by pathogenic bacteria invading the urethral tract, and ascending into the bladder. Cystitis in a small minority of instances may be caused by anatomical/structural deviations from the normal anatomy. Symptoms of cystitis require rapid attention by your family medicine specialist or internal medicine specialist.
