1. Overview and Causes
 

Urethritis is a urethral infection, while cystitis is a urinary bladder infection. Both are urinary tract infections. They have similar causes, so they are discussed together. Clinical studies have observed that in acute cases there is an urgency to urinate with a severe burning sensation. Some cases may have bloody urination. However, most acute cases can be cured, although they may become protracted and recurrent when the body's resistance is low. These infections are caused by bacteria. Traditional Chinese Medicine includes them in the category of "Lin (stranguria) Syndrome", which is caused by damp-heat flowing downward into the urinary bladder.
