Cystitis Causes, Treatments

Poor hygiene, pregnancy and becoming chilled are factors that can cause cystitis. Irritation of the urethra in the absence of bacteria, like wearing tight clothing, involving in intense or unfamiliar sexual intercourse or passing kidney sediment can cause irritation as well.
