Bladder inflammation (cystitis) symptoms mainly include the following:
1. Urinary tract irritation symptoms: This is the most common manifestation of cystitis, specifically including frequent urination, urgency, and painful urination. Frequent urination refers to a significant increase in the number of times of urination, especially frequent nighttime urination; urgency means patients often experience a sudden, compelling urge to urinate that is difficult to control; pain may occur at the beginning or end of urination, accompanied by a burning sensation or stabbing pain.
2. Abnormal urine: Cystitis may cause cloudy urine and sometimes even hematuria (blood in the urine). The color of hematuria can be bright red or tea-colored, with varying severity among individuals.
3. Lower abdominal discomfort: Patients may feel pain or discomfort in the lower abdomen or pubic area.
4. Back pain: In some cases, the inflammation may spread to the kidneys, causing pain in the腰部 area.
5. General symptoms: Such as fever and chills, which typically occur in more severe infections, such as pyelonephritis.
If you experience the above symptoms, it is recommended to seek medical attention promptly.
