Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Cao Zhiqiang
Symptoms of acute cystitis include the following:
1. Frequent urination: Patients experience a frequent need to urinate, even when the volume of urine is small.
2. Urgency: A sudden and strong urge to urinate, sometimes so intense that the patient may not reach a toilet in time.
3. Painful urination: A burning sensation or pain during urination; in severe cases, discomfort in the lower abdomen or perineal area may also occur even when not urinating.
4. Hematuria: Blood may appear in the urine, causing it to turn red or tea-colored.
5. Cloudy urine: The urine may become cloudy and have a foul odor.
6. Lower abdominal pain: There may be pain or tenderness in the bladder area.
7. Systemic symptoms: Although systemic symptoms are usually not prominent in uncomplicated acute cystitis, some patients may feel fatigued or generally unwell. When the infection spreads to cause acute pyelonephritis, systemic symptoms become more pronounced, such as chills and high fever.
8. Other symptoms: A small number of patients may have vesicoureteral reflux, which could allow the infection to travel upward to the kidneys, leading to more severe complications.
If you experience the above symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
