If you are having the feeling the urge to pee again even when you just have left the bathroom a couple of minutes ago with a stinging pain down there as you urine passes out, you could be suffering from a disorder known as cystitis. The inflammation of our bladder is medically known as cystitis. Our bladder stores and dispose urine in our body. The bladder primarily inflames because of infection. The bacteria E.coli normally found in the rectal area only ascends to your bladder by way of your urethra, the tube responsible for discharging urine out of our body.

Females are most likely to be infected by cystitis than men. The anatomical proximity of the urethra to the anus increases the likelihood of developing cystitis in women. Moreover, continuous rubbing of the urethral opening especially during sexual activity predisposes cystitis. Allergies to deodorant, perfumed soap, talcum powders and even colored toilet papers may cause cystitis in women.

Elderly and disabled people are also at higher risk of developing cystitis. This particular group of people has difficulty in movement and mobility. Immobility causes urinary stasis or stagnation of the urine in the bladder. When the urine is not passed frequently in the bladder as it should have been, inflammation and infection occurs, thereby, resulting to cystitis.

Cystitis needs an immediate intervention especially if it is recurrent in nature. Knowing when to see a doctor is perhaps the safest way to prevent further complications especially if the signs and symptoms last longer in days, usually more than 24 hours, presence of back pain, fever or blood in the urine and if it recurs after change of sexual partners. On and off infection with cystitis may lead to kidney damage. In this particular case, you will be referred by your doctor to a urologist, a person who specializes on the diagnosis, management and treatment on reproductive ailments in both males and females.

Camping is another great activity to ensure optimum health among individuals especially for those who suffers from recurrent cystitis. I always use my favorite three season tent and other 3 season tent. They always give me the best camping experience I could never imagine.
