What is Acute Cystitis

Acute cystitis is an infection of the bladder. The bladder is the part of the urinary tract that collects the urine from the kidneys. The urinary tract normally contains no microorganisms. However, sometimes bacteria or yeast from the lower gastrointestinal tract or rectal area enter the urinary tract.

Most cases of acute cystitis are caused by bacteria from the rectal area. The symptoms of acute cystitis vary from person to person and can range from mild to severe. Acute cystitis is treated with antibiotic drugs. Antibiotics will be prescribed for at least 2 to 3 days and perhaps for as long as several weeks. You can lessen your chance of having acute cystitis by preventing bacteria from entering the urinary tract.
