cystitis
Let an agent explain cystitis and its forms, relay causes, diagnosis and management from urology and primary care guidelines in general terms, describe the specific forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish cystitis from urethritis, pyelonephritis and overactive bladder, routing people with symptoms to clinicians.
Research draft, second pass
A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description
Let an agent explain cystitis and its forms, relay causes, diagnosis and management from urology and primary care guidelines in general terms, describe the specific forms the registry aliases name, and distinguish cystitis from urethritis, pyelonephritis and overactive bladder, routing people with symptoms to clinicians.
Inflammation of the urinary bladder, most often acute bacterial cystitis, a common urinary tract infection especially in women, with other forms including interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome, radiation cystitis after pelvic radiotherapy, emphysematous cystitis with gas in the bladder wall, eosinophilic cystitis and proliferative cystitis; symptoms include pain and frequent urination and care ranges from antibiotics to specialist management. The model routes symptoms to clinicians.
What it is for: Not applicable; a condition.
It can be explain forms and causes; relay diagnosis and management; route to clinicians; distinguish related conditions.
Distinguishing features
Bladder inflammation
Usually bacterial
Several non-infectious forms
Common in women
What it looks like
Not a visible object; an inflamed bladder.
Physical character
lifetime incidence, women: about 50 percent - UTI
usual pathogen: Escherichia coli note - most cases
interstitial cystitis prevalence: about 3-8 percent - women, estimates vary
How it is recognised
Inflammation of the bladder
Acute cystitis, interstitial cystitis, radiation cystitis, emphysematous cystitis, eosinophilic cystitis, proliferative cystitis
Urethritis affects the urethra; pyelonephritis the kidney; overactive bladder is not inflammatory
