- Sexual infections (urea and mycoplasm);
- Instrumental intervention or the introduction of infection in the urethra or bladder (usually microorganisms with gram-negative cell wall);
- Fungi, chlamydia, viruses;

The results of the study are affected by the correction of the material of the material and the compliance with the rules of personal hygiene.
- Pathogenic microflora can be detected with an increased amount of nitrates in the urine, detected using a indicator range
- The presence of pus in the urine is detected through a reaction of EST leukocytes.

Complications
With a non -radical nature of treatment, cystitis may not only enter a chronic form, but also complicate with diseases such as:
- a state where renal function is disturbed - the volume of the released urine is reduced
Inflammation extends to the mucous membrane and the muscular layer of the kidney, which is replaced by the result of the scar tissue, which leads to a decrease in the size of the kidney and elasticity of its capsule.
PMR - Damage to valve structures as a result of which urine is revealed to the exit - back to the kidney. At the same time, there are the location of the infection in the urinary system and the chronic form of pyelonephritis, renal tissue scars and a complete and impaired renal functioning.
