Trigonitis is a medical condition that involves the inflammation of the trigone, a triangular area located in the base of the urinary bladder. The condition is more common in women than in men and is often associated with urinary tract infections (UTIs).

Symptoms

The symptoms of trigonitis can vary, but they often include dysuria (painful urination), frequency (the need to urinate more often than usual), and nocturia (the need to urinate during the night). Some people may also experience hematuria (blood in the urine) or pyuria (pus in the urine).

Causes

The exact cause of trigonitis is not known, but it is thought to be related to hormonal changes in the body. Some researchers believe that the condition may be caused by the presence of estrogen in the body, which can cause the cells in the trigone to change and become inflamed. Other possible causes include bacterial infection, bladder stones, and bladder cancer.

Diagnosis

Trigonitis is typically diagnosed through a cystoscopy, a procedure that allows a doctor to view the inside of the bladder and urethra. During a cystoscopy, a doctor may also take a biopsy of the inflamed tissue for further examination.

Treatment

Treatment for trigonitis typically involves managing the symptoms of the condition. This can include antibiotics to treat any underlying infection, pain medication to manage discomfort, and bladder training to help manage urinary frequency and urgency. In some cases, surgery may be required to remove the inflamed tissue.
