Overview
Common risk factors in the development of cystitis include diabetes, pregnancy, catheterization, bowel incontinence, old age, and immobility.
Risk Factors
The following increase your chances of developing cystitis:
- A tube called a urinary catheter inserted in your bladder (catheterization)
- Blockage of the bladder or urethra
- Diabetes
- Enlarged prostate, narrowed urethra, or anything that blocks the flow of urine
- Loss of bowel control (bowel incontinence)
- Older age (especially in people who live in nursing homes)
- Pregnancy
- Problems with the patient being able to fully empty the bladder (urinary retention)
- Procedures that involve the urinary tract
- Staying still (immobile) for a long period of time (for example, when a patient is recovering from a hip fracture)
