Basically, cystitis is inflammation in your bladder. It is caused by frequent UTIs, but then it’s like a cycle: when you have that inflammation, you are more prone to keep getting UTIs. Just make sure that you really kick your UTIs by taking ALL of your antibiotics, and be clean! (you know, the basics: wipe only from front to back, make sure you pee after you have sex, etc.) Also, you can prevent UTIs by drinking lots of water, drink cranberry juice (it really does help!), and I know it’s kind of gross, but drink a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar regularly. You really can’t taste it that much if you drink it mixed in a big glass of water. Hope this helps!! References :
