This type of
infections
is very frequent.
Until the 60 years it is an essentially feminine
disease
. From this age, also it affects the man.
Clinical signs.
Next, we will describe the picture of the acute
cystitis
, without complication with any other affection.
He is more frequent in young women (it affects to 4% of the women of ages between 20 and 30 years) Nevertheless, also can suffer it the greater women, being more frequent conforms are aged, until reaching 20% to the 70 years and 30% to the 80.
The main signs are:
• Ardor during the micción, that can go from the simple annoyance to the unbearable pain.
• Poliaquiuria, that is to say, excessive desire to tinkle. It is the announcing sign of the

infections
of tracto
urinary
inferior are detected by means of ECBU (Examen Cito Bacteriolo'gico Urinario)
The ECBU is not necessary for an isolated
cystitis
. However, yes it is it in the recidivantes forms.
At the time of gathering it tinkles it, is not advisable the technique of the vesical drilling.
A
sample of the first micción must be obtained in the
morning
, after
a
washing of the
genital
zone and after rejecting the first portion of it tinkles it.
