What are the symptoms of acute and chronic cystitis?

Cystitis is a very common disease, which is divided into two types: acute and chronic. You need to judge the symptoms of cystitis in order to find a treatment method that suits you, and the effect will be twice the result with half the effort. Another point is that if acute cystitis is not taken seriously, it will develop into chronic, so timely treatment is needed. Now, I will introduce to you the differences between the symptoms of acute and chronic cystitis.

The symptoms of chronic cystitis are somewhat similar to those of acute cystitis, but are milder. It is characterized by a "slow" onset, a "mild" inflammatory response, and a "deep" lesion site. The symptoms of chronic cystitis, such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, exist for a long time and recur repeatedly, but are not as severe as in the acute phase. There are small or moderate amounts of pus cells and red blood cells in the urine.

Because the treatment itself is time-consuming, if there is negligence or improper treatment during diagnosis and treatment, it will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of treatment. Therefore, timely prevention and treatment of cystitis is the main focus.

How to distinguish between acute and chronic cystitis?

Symptoms of acute cystitis:

1. Abnormal urination: There is burning pain in the urethra and frequent urination during urination, which is often accompanied by urinary urgency. In severe cases, it is similar to urinary incontinence, and the frequent urination and urinary urgency are often particularly obvious.

2. Abnormal urination: The urine is turbid, has a foul odor, contains pus cells, and sometimes hematuria, which is often obvious in the terminal stage.

3. Perineal pain: When the bladder is full, there is obvious pain in the suprapubic area, and sometimes there may be pain in the urethra and perineum, which is relieved after urination.

4. Mild low back pain: When the inflammatory lesions are limited to the bladder mucosa, there is often no fever or leukocytosis in the blood, systemic symptoms are mild or absent, and some patients feel tired.

Symptoms of chronic cystitis:

Chronic cystitis is characterized by a slower onset and milder inflammation, and its early symptoms are similar to those of acute cystitis. Patients with chronic cystitis not only experience long-term symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and pain when urinating, but also recur repeatedly. Patients with chronic cystitis should undergo detailed examinations, symptomatic treatment, and must persist in treatment.

If patients experience the above symptoms mentioned by the editor, they should go to a regular hospital for treatment as soon as possible and do not miss the best time for treatment. Because the treatment cycle of cystitis is relatively long, I hope that patients will not lose patience and give up treatment because the treatment time is too long, which will cause greater harm to the body.
