Overactive Bladder Symptoms
7. Bladder Pain
Bladder pain syndrome, or interstitial cystitis, is a chronic pain condition affecting the urinary bladder. It is associated with urinary urgency, frequent urination, and painful sexual intercourse. Bladder pain alone can lead to severe depression and interfere significantly with the quality of life.
It is usually associated with irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia. Overactive bladder leads to bladder pain. Some patients even visit their doctors because they have bladder pain; not because they have urgency or increased urination frequency.
