What Is Painful Bladder Syndrome?
2. What Are Common Symptoms of PBS?
PBS’s main symptoms are remarkably similar to a urinary tract infection: You may feel burning when you urinate, or you could experience a strong, frequent urge to urinate that you can’t ignore. You may feel pain in your bladder even when it is empty. Additionally, you may feel either vague or sharp pain in your urethra, vulva, or rectum.
While some individuals are lucky enough to only have a mild case of PBS, people with severe cases may have to get up to urinate up to 40 times a day, and because of their condition, they also deal with constant stress, depression, and fragmented sleep.
