Cystitis is a bacterial infection affecting the urinary system, with women being more prone to it—approximately 20% will experience at least one episode in their lifetime.
The higher prevalence in women is linked to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to travel more easily. Maintaining good hygiene is therefore crucial.
This infection can sometimes be transmitted through exposure to another person’s bodily fluids, highlighting the importance of being mindful of actions like urinating in the shower, whether it’s you or your partner.
