		Cystitis, or inflammation of the bladder, is brought about by a number of conditions which act in such a way as to disturb the circulation through the kidney and bladder area, resulting in congestion, stasis, and at times outright infection of the tissues.
		Cystitis is more often a reaction of the bladder to a diseased state occurring elsewhere in the body than a distinct disease in itself.
		Since the underlying causes of cystitis are often complex and involve imbalances in other parts of the body, no system of treatment should be undertaken in those cases of chronic or recurrent cystitis until there has first been a complete physical examination.

		Use of a diaphragm increases the risk of developing cystitis, possibly because spermicide used with the diaphragm suppresses the normal vaginal bacteria and allows bacteria that cause cystitis to flourish in the vagina.
		Cystitis can also be caused by a catheter or an instrument used during surgery that introduces bacteria into the bladder.
		However, cystitis is treated during pregnancy even when the woman has no symptoms, because of a higher risk that organisms might reach and infect the kidneys.

	Tubulointerstitial Cystitis
		Tubulointerstitial cystitis is a chronic inflammation of the bladder that causes frequent, painful urination.
		Recent research suggests that leaky bladder syndrome may be a cause of tubulointerstitial cystitis due to harmful substance that are allowed to leak through the layer of protective mucus that lines the bladder.
		In most cases of tubulointerstitial cystitis, tiny hemorrhages on the inside wall of the bladder are visible during the procedure.

	Cystitis
		Cystitis is an inflammation of the bladder, and it can be the result of infection, irritation, or bruising, or even a combination of these three factors.
		Women are more prone to cystitis than men because the tube (urethra) that runs from the bladder to the outside of the body is much shorter (about 5cm/2ins) in women than it is in men (about 18cm/7ins).
		The aim is to use supplements that have been found to have a beneficial effect in the treatment of cystitis — partly because they promote a good acid/alkaline balance and also because they try to prevent bacteria from sticking to the urinary system and the bladder.

	Feline Cystitis [HomeVet© Natural Pet Care]
		Bacterial infections are the most common cause of cystitis in dogs and humans, but most cats with cystitis do not have bacteria in their urine.
		Each cat with cystitis is treated according to the changes in the urine (pH, crystals, bacteria, blood, etc.), the type of crystals present, the presenting clinical signs (straining, increased frequency, etc.), and the presence or absence of a bladder stone or urethral obstruction.
		Though dry foods do not cause cystitis, several studies have shown that the cat's total fluid intake is decreased when dry diets are fed. When the fluid intake is decreased, the urine is more concentrated with minerals and other materials that can cause future episodes of cystitis.

		Patients with cystitis may present with symptoms of urgency, frequency, dysuria, hematuria, cloudy and offensive-smelling urine, or suprapubic discomfort.
		The symptom of urgency is due to stimulation of the afferent arc of the micturition reflex, and bacterial conversion of urea to ammonia gives the urine the offensive smell.
		In male patients, acute cystitis can generally be the presentation of someone with an underlying disorder and therefore should be thoroughly investigated.

		Although the symptoms of interstitial cystitis are similar to those of a urinary tract infection; cultures do not identify bacteria or viruses in the urine of people with interstitial cystitis, and antibiotic therapy does not improve the condition.
		Some researchers believe that interstitial cystitis occurs because of a defect in the bladder wall, while others suggest that an autoimmune process (a disease in which the immune system of the body malfunctions and targets the body’s own tissues for destruction) may be responsible for the condition.
