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. Acute cystitis usually settles quickly with the right antibiotic, adequate fluids and rest.

Recurrent cystitis — two or more infections in six months, or three or more in a year — deserves a closer look, because an underlying cause may need addressing and, if neglected, infection can spread to the kidney.
A clear, step-by-step pathway — with same-day testing wherever possible, and kind, attentive care.
A same-visit urine test confirms infection quickly.
Culture guides antibiotic choice in recurrent or stubborn cases.
Checks emptying and rules out stones or other contributors in recurrent cystitis.
Confirmed infection is treated the same visit; recurrent cases get a cause work-up and prevention plan.
The threshold for calling cystitis recurrent — two infections in six months or three in a year — matters, because at that point simply re-treating each episode is not enough; the underlying cause should be investigated. Untreated infection can rarely spread upward to the kidney, so persistent symptoms should be checked.
Cystitis is confirmed with a same-visit urine test here rather than treated on assumption, and recurrent infections are investigated for a cause, by a board-certified urologist. Care is discreet, with English-speaking support.
With a same-visit urine test that confirms infection. In recurrent or stubborn cases we add a culture to guide the antibiotic.
Two or more infections in six months, or three or more in a year. At that point we investigate the underlying cause rather than only re-treating.
Yes — a confirmed infection can usually be treated at the same visit.
If neglected, infection can spread upward to the kidney. That is why persistent or recurrent symptoms should be checked.
