flag Recurrent cystitis may signal higher bladder and prostate cancer risk, especially in men, new study finds.

flag A new study links recurrent cystitis, a common urinary tract infection, to a higher risk of urogenital cancers like bladder and prostate cancer in middle-aged adults, particularly men. flag Analyzing data from over 3.5 million people in Sweden, researchers found that those with a history of cystitis had an elevated cancer risk, especially within three months of diagnosis. flag While the study is observational and cannot prove causation, it suggests cystitis may serve as an early warning sign, prompting further medical evaluation. flag The findings highlight the need for greater awareness and follow-up in patients with frequent UTIs.
