The plural form of cystitis, referring to multiple cases or types of bladder inflammation.
From cystitis using the Greek plural ending '-ides' instead of the English '-s'; this follows classical Greek medical terminology conventions where '-itis' conditions often pluralize to '-itides'.
Medical plurals like 'cystitides' look strange to English speakers, but they're remnants of how Greek and Latin shaped medicine—doctors still use 'bronchitides' and 'nephritides' to sound classically learned, even though 'cystitis cases' would work just as well.
