POSTCOITAL CYSTITIS: SURGICAL TREATMENT AND DYNAMIC MONITORING

Abstract

Lower urinary tract infections (LUTIs) are one of the most common bacterial infections in women, accounting for about a quarter of all infectious and inflammatory processes. The incidence of postcoital cystitis is due to the low position of the external opening of the urethra, which facilitates the entry of bacteria during sexual intercourse. This article presents a case of a patient with chronic postcoital cystitis caused by external urethral diverticulum. Conservative therapy was not effective enough, so it was decided to perform a surgical procedure called urethral transposition. The surgery involved creating a new position for the external opening of the urethra and removing the hymenal-urethral adhesions. The patient’s recovery was successful, and six months later, the symptoms disappeared, improving her quality of life. This study demonstrates the effectiveness of urethral transposition.
