Hello I have been diagnosis with interstitial cystitis have had this since 06 and latly I have had a lot of kidney pain everyday what can I do? Also I urinat about 20 times a day and about 15 times at night yes I have tried vesicare and oxybutynin. I also have just had a bladder distention but all this was going on before the bladder distention.
If diabetes is ruled out then other possibilities which need to be ruled out are interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder syndrome, stroke and other neurological diseases, urinary incontinence, bladder cancer(rare) and bladder dysfunction .
Please consult a urologist in that case.
I hope it helps. Take care and regards.
The last time i went maybe a week ago he told me now we would focus on a condition called Interstitial Cystitis said its rare in men but still worth a shot and the medication for it has to be taken 3x a day and if thats the cause it wont be an immediate fix. He also talked about a procedure where where they would look into my bladder through my urethra and put a higher dosage of the medicine directly into my bladder..
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?
I seem to have chronic bladder problems, like frequent urination, bladder spasms, my urine samples usually come back negative. Could this be Interstitial cystitis?
Although the shooting pains have resolved you still have vaginal pain with intercourse frequently seen in IC patients as well. Interstitial Cystitis and overactive bladder are both sensory urgency problem, and sometimes difficult to distinguish. We also know that many patients have both problems. I would start by treating you with an overactive bladder medication like ditropan or vesicare and see what happens to your symptoms.

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.
Having bladder issues with pain in lower front area with a throbbing pain. Also couldn't control urinating on myelf. Dr saw blood in urine. I thought it might be a stone & my doctor thought it could be, but ct scan showed no stone. 1 month later it started again & doctor saw blood in urine again. So she upped my Cipro some & gave me VESIcare for 2 weeks & told me to take all of medications, then call back to get some labs do.
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.
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.
I am currently in the process of being diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, so I am aware that vuvlodynia and interstitial cystitis sometimes go hand in hand. My question is: What are the chances that this could be herpes with absolutely NO visible symptoms for ten days? Ive never been diagnosed with herpes....and Ive had two children...but not sure if I was tested or not back then, but have never had problems in the past. The pain started 10-12 days ago. Thankyou!!!
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.
s from this is because of lack of estrogen in vagina so I have to use medication for that too. There is also something called interstitial cystitis which mimics symptoms of UTI like frequency and urgency. Did you ever get a work up to find out why you have over active bladder? If not I'd suggest that.

I believe it's interstitial cystitis. The elmiro is used for this treatment, although i'm not sure how the hydroxyzine would play a role.
Interstitial cystitis is a possibility. I'd see a urologist and talk to them about it.
I have IC and it started out as just being severe pain every time i went to the bathroom. Not a burning feeling, just sharp horrible pain. They kept testing for bladder infections but it was always negative. Ask a urologist about the possibility of interstitial cystitis. They took two years but finally diagnosed me.
The only real way to find out if you have it or not is a tiny surgery.
of methadone daily for 10 years for severe, constant , unbearable pain from interstitial cystitis. It has been a godsend and made my life bearable. I cannot find a doctor here who understands this is for pain and I am NOT an addict. Please help! if anyone knows a compassionate doctor in the Atlanta area who prescribes methadone. PLEASE let me know. Thank you!
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.
