Bladder Infection

Do you experience a burning sensation when urinating or a constant urge to urinate? These could be symptoms of a bladder infection. At Sioufi Urology, we specialize in diagnosing and treating bladder infections to help you find relief and improve your urinary health.

Overview of Bladder Infection

Cystitis, commonly known as a bladder infection, is a type of urinary tract infection (UTI) that occurs when bacteria enter the urethra and multiply in the bladder. This condition can cause painful and frequent urination, and if left untreated, it may lead to more serious health issues.

Causes and risk factors

Bladder infections are usually caused by bacteria entering the urethra. Risk factors include sexual activity, use of certain birth control methods, pregnancy, menopause, and urinary retention. Women are more prone to bladder infections due to their shorter urethra.

Diagnosis of Bladder Infection

Diagnosis involves reviewing your symptoms and medical history, as well as a physical exam. Diagnostic tests may include:

​

  • Reviewing symptoms

  • Urine analysis and culture

  • Cystoscopy to view the bladder

  • Medical imaging if abnormalities are suspected
