What is cystitis?

Cystitis is a form of urinary tract infection (UTI) and creates an inflammation of the bladder. Cystitis is usually caused by some kind of harmful bacteria, causing you to urinate frequently and painfully.

Once the urinary tract becomes infected, harmful bacteria begin to turn your bladder into an acidic environment, helping them to rapidly grow and spread. This makes your urine acidic, causing burning pains when you urinate.

Cystitis is an infection that mainly affects women – it is thought that almost 50 percent of women will suffer from cystitis at least once during their lifetime. Cystitis usually occurs in women who are: young, sexually active, pregnant, menopausal, or elderly.

The body will usually clear itself of the infection after a few days; however, treatments such as antibiotics and Cymalon will help to combat the symptoms, making the condition more manageable.

There are numerous symptoms associated with Cystitis, including:

• Burning or stinging during urination.
• An increased desire to urinate.
• A sensation that you are unable to empty your bladder.
• General pain across the abdominal area.

How do Cymalon Sachets work?

The sachets contain sodium citrate, which works with your body to neutralise the acidity within your bladder, delivering an effective and welcome relief from discomfort and irritation, while also making it harder for the bacteria to reproduce.
