Warning Issued as UK Women Face Increased Risk of Burning Cystitis This May

### May warning as Brits face 'increased risk' of 'burning' condition
As May approaches, experts are advising people in the UK about a growing risk of a painful condition known as burning cystitis. This warning is particularly aimed at women, who are more likely to experience this issue.
Burning cystitis can cause discomfort, burning sensations, and frequent urination. The condition often occurs after sexual activity, which is a significant factor in many cases. According to estimates, "Sex-induced cystitis accounts for around 60% of recurrent cases." To reduce the risk, it is important to maintain proper hygiene. Experts recommend washing the genital area before and after sex and ensuring the bladder is emptied promptly afterward.
Understanding these precautions can help prevent the onset of burning cystitis, allowing for a more comfortable May for those affected.
