Cystitis Emphysematosa

Cystitis emphysematosa

        One of the most feared types of cystitis has got to be cystitis emphysematosa. The first thing that comes to mind is the question of what is cystitis emphysematosa. The answer is a bit tricky: it is a very rare type of cystitis. See, usually, cystitis is caused by bacteria, even if it is non - infectious cystitis. In this case, the main reason behind the existence of cystitis emphysematosa is inflammation. Now, inflammation exists in classical cystitis just as well. However, it is just a consequence of the infection with a certain type of pathogen agent. When talking about cystitis emphysematosa, the swell of the urinary tract is the cause, not the result of the illness.

       What makes it so dangerous? Well, nobody really knows what causes the urinary tract tissue to swell. This means that it is practically impossible to tell who will develop this type of cystitis and when. Also, the swelling does not appear to react to any sort of classical cystitis medication, nor to any anti - inflammatory drugs. The symptoms of this disease are those of common cystitis, but with a very painful twist. Patients have reported that the burn they experience when urinating is ten times stronger when they have been diagnosed with emphysematosum cystitis. So, it is not only harder to bear its existence, but it is also close to impossible to treat it.
