Recurrent cystitis: patients' needs, expectations and contribution to developing an information leaflet - a qualitative study.

Objectives: Recurring cystitis (RC) is a common complaint among women. It has a significant impact on patients' quality of life. The physical discomfort and psychological distress related to RC are rarely addressed and women's needs in terms of information and advice have not been sufficiently explored, particularly in France in spite of their frequent episodes of RC.
