Abstract
Lower urinary tract infections (UTIs) are one of the most common clinical bacterial infections in women, accounting for almost 25% of all infections. UTIs are more common in women than in men, in a ratio of 8:1. Approximately 50-60% of women report at least one episode of a UTI in their lifetime, and by the age of 24, one in three will have symptoms of a UTI requiring antibiotic treatment. The most common inflammatory disease of the bladder in women is cystitis. During their lifetime, 20-25% of women suffer from acute cystitis, every third of them has a relapse of the disease within a year, and in 10% it becomes a chronic relapsing form. A form of recurrent cystitis is postcoital cystitis – cystitis that develops within 1-2 days after intercourse in women with a high opening of the external urethral orifice and its hypermobility, as well as in the presence of urethrohymenal adhesions.
