Avatar f tn Hi, Overactive bladder and Interstitial Cystitis (IC) are two common disorders in the family of hypersensitivity disorders of the bladder. Both can cause urinary urgency and frequency. Overactive bladder is not asssociated with bladder pain, however IC is usually associated with pain, pressure or discomfort in the bladder, usually worse with a full bladder. Your symptoms of "pressure and irritation" make IC more likely.
Avatar f tn There are many things that can cause this pain-burning it could be chronic cystitis or interstitial cystitis. The symptoms are the same and a good urologist can help diagnosis the problems. Either way you pain, burning and bladder pain. The self help things etc. can help you while you see a diagnosis! We have an IC support forum here on this site actually two, listed below. There is actually an article on the physical relationship on the first forum.
Avatar f tn What I CAN advise, is that you seek professional assistance, guidance and diagnosis. This forum is great and I come here and post quite often as of late, but there are some problems & issues best left to the professionals. I would urge you to go and see your GP/PCP for a Urologist referral. If you don't have insurance, go to the ER. No matter what hospital ER you go to, they are, by law, not allowed to turn you away until you've been diagnosed and stabilized.
Avatar n tn I really appreciate that you took the time to inform me. This was very helpful and I will try both the L-Arginine and baking soda, daily. Many thanks.
Avatar n tn He believes it may turn out to be interstitial cystitis, based on my symptoms and severe lower abdominal pain that has not been explained by gynocological or gastrointestinal testing. The only catching point is....I'm nauseated. The more my bladder hurts, the more nauseated I get. He wasn't sure if that played into it or not. Has anyone else with IC ever experienced this kind of nausea? Could it just be my body's reaction to pain?
Avatar f tn I was tested and have Interstitial cystitis which is just another gift that Fibromyalgia gives us. I don't have the pain when urinating but do have the frequency urges especially at night; as soon as I lay down the pressure is there and is still there immediately after I go to the bathroom. Does anyone know of something I can do to stop the pressure? I would love to get some sleep.
Avatar f tn I had a cystetomy and I don't have a bladder now. I have had almost 22 years and still have phantom pain. What helps with that?
Avatar n tn corndog, a urologist diagnoses and treats interstitial cystitis. IC is chronic inflammation of the bladder lining. The pain is much like a urinary tract infection (a BAD one), but there are other complications and it flares and then often goes in remission. Elmiron is the only FDA approved drug to treat IC. It rebuilds the mucus layer of the bladder. I also take Enablex for frequency that is pronounced at night! If you think this sounds like you, ask to see a urologist...
Avatar f tn Hi - I was recently diagnosed with interstitial cystitis. I also have Sjogren's, fibromyalgia, and a variant on the MEFV gene. My doctor prescribed Elmiron which I just started. Is there a connection between interstitial cystitis and Sjogren's, fibromyalgia, or the inflammatory response from the genetic variant? I'm wondering if there are other treatment options besides the medication that will also address the other issues.
Avatar f tn Radiation damage to the bladder during treatment for pelvic cancers can cause radiation cystitis. Certain chemotherapy drugs can cause a chemical cystitis. Interstitial cystitis is in the category of nonbacterial cystitis caused by an inflammation in the bladder wall. Cure for abacterial cystitis required long time therapy and the response to treatment is usually poor.
Avatar n tn Does interstitial cystitis cause microscopic hematuria? I have all the symptoms of IC but have not seen hematuria listed as one. A bladder infection has been ruled out. Thanks!

Avatar f tn I will be 60 days clean in 2 days and i was recently diagnosed before i began my recovering journey with interstitial cystitis. I have been having tremendously terrible pains and i know it is from my bladder. At some points of the day it knocks my off my feet and i just lay in the floor until i can get up. I have not followed up with a doctor(we recently moved across the US requiring me to find new doctor) and Im scared to see a doctor since that was my was of getting my fix.
Avatar n tn I also have interstitial cystitis and was diagnosed in February this year and a bladder sling about 4 years ago and borderline ovarian cancer last year (thanfully now clear).. I am trying to control the IT pain with diet i.e. no fruit except pears and bluberries, no salad (inc tomatoes) except lettuce and cucumber. Only drinking decaff tea and water. No spices or other additives - I make my own stock and 95% of the time only eat protein as chicken or fish.

Avatar f tn Hi,for your disease, it is likely that you may have interstitial cystitis. The common symptoms of IC are: Pain in your pelvis or between the vagina and anus in women or between the scrotum and anus in men (perineum) Chronic pelvic pain A persistent, urgent need to urinate Frequent urination, often of small amounts, throughout the day and night People with severe interstitial cystitis may urinate as often as 60 times a day.
Avatar n tn However, there are studies which appear to show associations of certain viruses and interstitial cystitis. Examples of which would be HPV type 66 and polyomaviruses. Biopsies have shown that these viruses have been present in patients with IC. You may check this url for further readings: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.
