Technically, cystitis is a urinary tract infection and is usually the result of a bladder infection. It is usually more frequent in women than in men and, as a general rule, it disappears within a few days of treatment, but there are more complex cases in which cystitis becomes recurrent.
Among the cystitis symptoms we find the constant and frequent urge to pee along with a feeling of burning and pain and in small amounts, blood in the urine, pelvic discomfort, a feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen and low fever, etc.
Urine infections are the 2nd most frequent cause of out-of-hospital infection treated in hospitals and at least 37% of women will present this type of infection throughout their lives.
The appearance of biofilms
The biofilm is a film created by the bacteria around it, forming a kind of ” mushroom ” that adheres to the surface of the bladder to ensure bacterial survival. In this way, they can resist and protect themselves against the individual’s immune response without being completely eliminated with antibiotic treatments.
If these biofilms are formed, we find recurrent cystitis since the antibiotics stop having their effect and, therefore, it is necessary to introduce ingredients, such as blueberries, to break these biofilms.
