A full bladder sensation, even after urinating, may be a symptom of cystitis. It is an inflammation of the bladder often caused by bacteria, being much more frequent in the woman than in the man.
In addition to feeling full bladder, even after peeing, cystitis can cause difficulty urinating, pain or burning during urination, decreased urine volume and urge to pee several times a day, often urgently. The presence of blood in the urine is also common.
Cystitis usually does not cause fever. When it is present, it is a sign that the infection has already reached the kidneys Or the prostate, in the case of men. In the kidneys, the infection can become much more severe and generalized if the person does not receive the appropriate treatment in time.
Cystitis
Cystitis is a type of urinary infection. In the urethra, it is called urethritis, while in the kidney it is called pyelonephritis.
Urinary infections affect women more than men, mainly because of the difference in size of the urethra and by the distance from the urethra to the anus, which are different in both sexes.
The fact that the woman has the urethra closer to the anus facilitates the penetration of bacteria that inhabit the intestine, which are the main cause of urinary infections. In addition, the urethra of the woman is about 5 cm, while the man's urethra is about 12 cm, which facilitates the arrival of the bacteria to the bladder and kidneys.
Treatment of cystitis and all other forms of urinary tract infection is usually done with medications antibiotics, since the main cause is the bacterium Escherichia coli.
The sensation of full bladder after urination, as well as other urinary changes, is a symptom that must be investigated so that the cause is properly treated. Consult a general practitioner or family physician for these symptoms.
