What is cystitis in humans?

It is an inflammation of the bladder, somewhat unusual, but completely similar to that of women in causes and course. Cystitis is generally of infectious origin , leads to burning during urination and frequent urination.

In rarer cases it can be attributable to the use of some drugs , it can arise in the event of a use of the bladder catheter.

Symptoms of male cystitis

The symptoms of cystitis even for men can be light and unnoticeable at the onset, or very intense immediately.
In any case, while avoiding excessive alarmism, it is important to pay attention if one or more of the following symptoms appear or intensify:

• Problems while urinating: burning , difficulty urinating, urge to urinate very frequently
• Changes in urine: presence of blood or pus, dark color, bad odor, turbidity
• Pain when urinating
• Fever , associated with one or more of the above symptoms.

The symptoms of cystitis can vary in intensity and duration from person to person and be different if it is acute cystitis (the symptoms are strong and have appeared for a short time) or chronic cystitis (the symptoms are milder and present from a longer period of time).

Cause of cystitis in men

As with any disorder, knowing the causes of cystitis is essential both to prevent it and to prevent it from recurring. 
Cystitis in humans is mainly caused by a bacterial infection of the urinary tract. The bacteria are often of faecal origin and travel up the urethra to the bladder from the anal area.

Other causes of cystitis in men can be traced back to prostatic disorders: infections of the prostate (prostatitis) of bacterial origin that spread to the bladder, or a pathological enlargement of the prostate with consequent pressure on the bladder and obstruction of the urethra, which prevents complete emptying of the bladder and facilitates the development of infections.

Trauma in the genital areaeven minor ones can increase the chances of contracting cystitis: trauma resulting from accidents or sports (cycling, horse racing) or undergarments that are too tight.
Last but not least, diabetes and unsafe sexual intercourse can facilitate urinary infections and cystitis.

How long does cystitis last in humans

The course of male cystitis is similar to that of women , with an initial acute and painful peak, which in a couple of days loses its recurrence if one intervenes with antibiotic coverage or natural remedies.

Then it also depends on the triggering cause. There are manifestations of interstitial cystitis that can persist for a long time and become chronic and whose origins are unknown, other than the progressive destruction of the most superficial layer of the bladder. 

How to cure male cystitis with natural remedies
