Introduction:
In spite of intensive research, chronic recurrent cystitis is etiologically a still insufficiently understood clinical picture.
Case Report:
A 52-year-old patient presented with recurrent cystitis that had been treated exclusively somatically for years for which at least a psychosomatic co-pathogenesis of magnitude of the discomfort was diagnostically representable as well as being of therapeutic utility.
Conclusion:
In recollection of a bio-psychosocial understanding of human diseases, psychosomatic considerations should be undertaken at last but not least in patients with persistent cystitis.
