21. Cystitis and other urinary bladder symptoms
When herpes involves the urinary bladder, the manifestations are also vesicles, but they can be in the urinary tract and mucosa of the urinary system. Signs and symptoms in these cases include severe dysuria, described as a burning pain when urinating, and a significant increase in the urinary frequency. In some cases, patients may develop severe cystitis with hematuria or blood in the urine. This happens when the vesicles rupture. In some cases, patients may also develop bladder paralysis and urinary retention.
