Cystitis is a bacterial infection affecting the urinary system, and it occurs more frequently in women. Approximately 20% of women experience at least one episode in their lifetime. This higher prevalence in women is due to their shorter urethra, which allows bacteria to reach the bladder more easily. Maintaining good hygiene is crucial in preventing the infection.
Since cystitis can be transmitted through exposure to another person’s bodily fluids, it is important to be mindful of potential risks, including when you or your partner urinate in the shower.
