Overview

Cystitis is inflammation of the bladder, most often from a bacterial infection. It is very common in women and causes burning urination, urgency and frequency. Most cases clear quickly with the right antibiotic, but recurrent cystitis deserves a closer look.

We confirm infection with same-visit urine testing rather than guessing, treat it appropriately, and investigate recurrent infections for an underlying cause.

Symptoms we evaluate

Common causes

Same-day where possible

How we diagnose it

Accurate testing guides accurate care. Many patients are assessed and started on treatment the same day.

Urinalysis & microscopy

Same-visit urine testing confirms infection quickly.

Urine culture when needed

Culture guides antibiotic choice in recurrent or stubborn cases.

Bladder ultrasound

Checks emptying and rules out stones or other contributors in recurrent cystitis.

Recurrence review

For repeated infections, we look for and address an underlying cause.

Treatment options

How we treat cystitis (bladder infection)

Targeted antibiotics

Appropriate antibiotics for confirmed infection, matched to the culture where needed.

Recurrence prevention

Practical measures and, where indicated, strategies to reduce repeated infections.

Investigate persistent cases

Recurrent cystitis is investigated rather than repeatedly treated blindly.

Same-day relief

Confirmed infections can be treated the same visit.

Cystitis is confirmed with a same-visit urine test rather than treated on assumption, and recurrent infections are investigated for a cause instead of being met with repeated antibiotic courses — consistent with the clinic's accurate, no-over-treatment approach. Care is discreet, with English-speaking support.
