Illustration of a female bladder with cystitis

Cystitis. Illustration of a female urinary bladder, dissected to show inflammation that occurs in cystitis. At centre is the bladder which stores urine. At top are two ureter tubes which lead from the kidneys and pass urine to the bladder. The urethra (at lower centre) is the channel which expels urine to the exterior. In cystitis the inner lining of the bladder becomes inflamed, as seen here, causing obstruction to the urethra. This prevents the voiding of urine. Cystitis is usually caused by bacterial infection, and is more common in women. Symptoms include pain and difficulty in passing urine. Treatment with antibiotic drugs usually cures the infection

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intricate illustration of a female bladder affected by cystitis. The image provides a detailed dissection, revealing the inflammation that occurs within the bladder during this condition. Positioned at the center is the bladder itself, responsible for storing urine. Above it, two ureter tubes can be observed, connecting the kidneys and facilitating urine flow into the bladder. At the lower center lies the urethra, serving as a channel to expel urine from the body. Cystitis manifests when the inner lining of the bladder becomes inflamed, obstructing proper urinary function as depicted in this artwork. This obstruction prevents normal voiding of urine and leads to symptoms such as pain and difficulty during urination. It is important to note that cystitis primarily stems from bacterial infection and tends to affect women more frequently than men. Fortunately, antibiotic drugs serve as an effective treatment for this common medical issue. By targeting and eliminating bacterial infections within the bladder, these medications provide relief from discomfort and restore normal urinary function. This remarkable visual representation not only highlights key aspects of cystitis but also emphasizes its significance in healthcare. Through scientific artistry like this piece from Science Photo Library, medical professionals gain valuable insights into various diseases and conditions while promoting better understanding among patients seeking optimal health outcomes.
