Cystitis: the painful, burning urinary tract infection (UTI) that affects women more than men. Around 20% of women will deal with it at least once. Why? Women have shorter urethras, making it easier for bacteria to reach the bladder.
Bad hygiene and contact with body fluids are the main culprits. Intimate activities that involve fluids can up your risk, so keeping things clean is your best defense.
Remember, hygiene is everything! Wash regularly and steer clear of germy habits—like peeing in the shower, which can spread bacteria.
