- Abstract
Chronic cystitis (CC) in females is annually encountered now in 15,000-20,000 per 1,000,000. Etiological and pathogenetic factors in CC are closely related. Bacteriologically, CC is represented primarily by Enterobacter. The infection, as a rule, ascends the lower urinary tracts. The contributing factors are: weak local antibacterial mechanisms of the urogenital system, anatomical variants and anomalies of the urethra and introitus, sexual activity, impaired urodynamics of the lower urinary tracts. The diagnosis of chronic inflammation of the bladder is made mainly endoscopically, with obligatory endovesical multifocal biopsy of the bladder followed by histological examination. The treatment of CC includes antibacterial, general and local antiinflammatory therapy, measures to normalize urodynamics of the lower urinary tracts, correction of hygienic and sexual factors, immunostimulation. 16 nonresponders to conservative treatment of interstitial cystitis with progressive contraction of the bladder were subjected to supratrigonal or subtotal resection of the bladder with one-stage ileocystoplasty.
