Cystitis is a bacterial infection of the urinary system. It is more common in women;
around 20% of women experience at least one episode of cystitis in their lifetime.
The reason it is more common in women than in men is due to the urethra; in women,
it is shorter, so bacteria travel a shorter distance. That’s why it’s important to
maintain proper hygiene. This condition is often transmitted through contact with
another person’s bodily fluids. For this reason, it is essential to consider what happens when you or your partner urinate in the shower
