Overview
Urinary tract infections are found more frequently in women than in men.[1][2] It is estimated that more than 30% of women will experience at least one episode of cystitis. Of these 30%, 20% women will have recurrent cystitis.[3] Females are more commonly affected with cystitis than males. The female to male ratio is 4 to 1.[4] Acute uncomplicated cystitis commonly affects women ages 18-39 years.[5]
Epidemiology and Demographics
Prevalence
Urinary tract infections are the more common in women than in men.[2] It is estimated that more than 30% of women will experience at least one episode of cystitis. Of these 30%, 20% of these women will have recurrent cystitis.[3] One reason for the higher prevalence of Cystitis in women is the shorter and straighter urethra that makes it easy for the infection to arched from the urethra into the urinary bladder.
Gender
Females are more commonly affected with cystitis than males. The female to male ratio is 4 to 1.[4]
Age
Acute uncomplicated cystitis commonly affects women ages 18-39 years.[5]
