Cystitis Glandularis

Cystitis glandularis

        Here is the one thing that a patient must know about cystitis glandularis before anything else: it is not a form of cancer. Usually, when a person is told by their attending physician that their bladder presents with multiple mucous cells lining the exterior tissues, said person believes they might have cancer. This time, it could not be further away from the truth. Yes, cystitis glandularis is a rather unfortunate form of cystitis, but it is very treatable and very curable.

       Basically, what happens in cystitis glandularis is the following: the body produces too much mucous and this mucous tends to coagulate. Soon, polyps are formed. These polyps are, in essence, small tumors, attached to the main part of the organ by some thin membranes. The good thing is that the tumors are benign. The bad thing is that they cause cystitis glandularis.

       The sufferers of this type of cystitis manifest the same symptoms as everyone else: frequent and painful urination, blood in the urine and a permanent burning sensation. Usually, it takes a very strict scheme of treatment to clean the bladder of these polyps. Unfortunately, not matter how good the treatment is, the probability of recurrence in the case of cystitis glandularis is rather high.
