Description

Acute bacterial cystitis is a very common disease of the lower urinary tract, in particular among women with an active sex life. Symptoms include dysuria, frequency, nocturia and urgency. As these symptoms are nonspecific, acute bacterial cystitis should be distinguished from more severe urinary tract conditions by an appropriate medical history.
