/sɪˈstaɪtɪs/
I went to the clinic because I thought I had cystitis.

Cystitis is more common in women, and prompt treatment can help prevent the infection from spreading to the kidneys.
膀胱炎在女性中更常见,及时治疗有助于防止感染蔓延到肾脏。
cystitis 来自医学构词:cyst- 源自希腊语 kystis(“膀胱、囊”),**-itis** 是常见的医学后缀,表示“炎症”。合起来字面意思就是“膀胱的炎症”。
