A bladder infection, also known as cystitis, is no fun. This is a bacterial infection that strictly impacts your bladder. Typically, cystitis is referred to as a urinary tract infection (UTI); however, there’s one key difference. UTIs can affect the entire urinary tract, not just the bladder – but also the kidneys, ureters or urethra.

Cystitis can also stem from certain drugs, radiation therapy or irritants (i.e. feminine hygiene spray or spermicidal jellies). It can also occur as a result of another illness.

Symptoms of Bladder Infections

Bladder infections and UTIs have the same symptoms.

A strong, persistent urge to urinate.
A burning sensation when urinating.
Passing frequent, small amounts of urine.
Blood in the urine (hematuria).
Passing cloudy or strong-smelling urine.
Discomfort in the pelvic area.
A feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen.
Low-grade fever

In children, the most significant sign of a bladder infection or UTI is a new series of accidental wettings. Specifically, when they occur during the night, only during the day, or at least once each week.

Cystitis Treatments at AFC Englewood

Our walk-in urgent care clinic is your one-stop-shop for lab services. We offer:

Urinalysis: a simple urine test that checks for signs of infection (bacteria, white blood cells and nitrates).
Urine culture: If we need to identify the specific bacteria that is causing the infection, we send the sample to another lab for further testing. This ensures a more accurate plan of treatment.

Typically, our providers will prescribe antibiotics to eliminate the bacteria. Just let us know where your favorite pharmacy is, and we’ll send it over right away.
