Cystitis is a bacterial infection of the urinary system.
It is more common in women; around 20% of women experience at
least one episode of cystitis in their lifetime. The reason it
is more common in women than in men is due to the urethra; in women,
it is shorter, so bacteria travel a shorter distance. That’s why
it’s important to maintain proper hygiene.
This condition is often transmitted through contact with another
person’s bodily fluids. For this reason, it is essential to
consider what happens when you or your partner urinate in the shower.
