What is cystitis?

Other causes

Venereal diseases
Gonorrhoea and chlamydia infections may cause symptoms similar to Cystitis Cystitis-like symptoms among young sexually active men may be caused by venereal diseases.

Parasites
Particularly among people who have been in North Africa or the Middle East. The bladder may be infested by parasites - schistosomiasis or bilharzia (river blindness). The symptoms are similar to cystitis, but there are no bacteria in the urine.

Due to lack of female sex hormones in postmenopausal women, a range of changes take place in the whole body. A consequence of this is that the urinary system is more easily irritated by Cystitis.

Women using a deodorant or other potentially irritating material on their genitals may develop Cystitis-like symptoms.
