N30: Cystitis

N30.8: Other cystitis

The bladder sits low down in the abdomen and collects the urine. The urine is produced in the two kidneys. The urine flows from the kidneys into the bladder via the ureters. When you pass water, the urine flows from the bladder via the urethra and out. The inside of the bladder is lined with a protective mucosal layer.

People with an inflamed bladder sometimes experience pain when urinating and pain in the lower abdomen. It also possible that you will have a frequent urge to go to the toilet. The urine can also be bloody or cloudy if you have a bladder infection.
