Answers:
its caused by an overgrowth of bacteria and sex is a major factor because of the friction, heat, moisture and dirty fingers.my friend used to get it nearly everytime she had sex so she now pee's straight after and rarely suffers anymore. drinking cranberry juice is good to get rid of it because there is an acid in the juice that kills the bacteria (to put it simply)Health Question & Answer

[edit] Causes, incidence and risk factors
Cystitis occurs when the normally sterile lower urinary tract (urethra and bladder) is infected by bacteria and becomes irritated and inflamed. It is very common.[citation needed]

The condition frequently affects sexually active women ages 20 to 50 but may also occur in those who are not sexually active or in young girls. Older adults are also at high risk for developing cystitis, with the incidence in the elderly being much higher than in younger people.

Cystitis is rare in males. Females are more prone to the development of cystitis because of their relatively shorter urethra
