Cystitis Hemorrhagic

Hemorrhagic cystitis

Hemorrhagic cystitis is an acute infectious disease caused by various microorganisms and characterized by the presence of urinary syndrome, urethritis and signs of an acute inflammatory process in the bladder. The most important among pathogens belong to the gram-negative bacillus Hemophilus influenzae, Escherichia coli, Enterobacteriaceae spp., Proteus mirabilis, Serratia marcescens, strains of which cause the development of hemorrhagic cystitis in most cases.

The clinical picture of the hemorrhagic form of cystitis is not very specific and is similar to inflammatory diseases of the lower urinary tract and urethra. Regardless of the etiology, the hemorrhagic form is characterized by the fact that the infection penetrates the bladder through the ascending route, bypassing the lower urinary tract, and therefore there is a strong urge to urinate. Urination becomes painful, excruciating, the patient urinates only with strong pressure on the suprapubic area. The urine comes out cloudy, sometimes takes on the color of meat slop, and leaves behind traces of blood or streaks of blood. The patient complains of pain that radiates down to the perineum, lower abdomen, sacrum
