Canesten Oasis For Cystitis - Cystitis is an inflammation of the lining of the bladder. It can be caused by bacteria infecting the bladder (severe cystitis) or by non-bacterial inflammation caused by irritation.
Who gets Cystitis?
Any woman can suffer from cystitis but some are more prone to this condition, for example:
Younger women (who may be prone to more sexual activity)
The elderly (who may be less mobile or have more difficulty emptying their bladder)
Pregnant women (whose body changes can make them prone to urinary infections)
Post-menopausal women (who may experience vaginal dryness causing soreness and irritation during
sexual intercourse)
Men and children can get cystitis too, but this is much less common, and in such cases a doctor's
advice must always be sought
