Interstitial Cystitis Symptoms

As the name implies, the most common symptom of interstitial cystitis is a painful bladder. Interstitial cystitis varies in its severity, so the amount of pain will be different from person to person. People who are dealing with interstitial cystitis sometimes see other symptoms as well.

Common interstitial cystitis symptoms include:

  • Pelvic pain
  • Frequent urination
  • Constant urge to urinate
  • Painful urination (dysuria)
  • Pain after urination
  • Pain during sex

Interstitial Cystitis Causes

There is no one cause of painful bladder syndrome. While more women suffer from interstitial cystitis than men, it can occur in either gender. In some cases, interstitial cystitis is caused by the deterioration of the lining of the bladder.

Certain risk factors make a person more likely to contract painful bladder syndrome, including:

  • Advanced age
  • Prostate gland inflammation in men
  • Irritable bowel syndrome
  • Fibromyalgia

Dealing with painful interstitial cystitis can lead to many long-term problems, including depression, reduced quality of life and more.

Interstitial Cystitis Treatment

There is no easy cure for interstitial cystitis. However, there are many different treatments available that can help mitigate symptoms and restore regular urinary function. Painful bladder syndrome treatment typically begins with tests to determine if the problem is there.

Common interstitial cystitis tests include:

  • Pelvic exam
  • Urinalysis
  • Biopsy
  • Cystoscopy (examining the bladder with a small camera)

If interstitial cystitis is present, treatment can begin. Possible interstitial cystitis treatments  include:

  • Antihistamine medications
  • Anti-inflammatory medication
  • Nerve stimulation
  • Bladder instillation
  • Surgery

The best treatment for interstitial cystitis will vary depending on the individual patient and the severity of the problem. For minor cases, medication may be enough to restore regular function. Interstitial cystitis surgery is typically only for those with extreme bladder pain.

Bladder augmentation surgery involves replacing the damaged portion of the bladder with healthy tissue.
