How can I have interstitial cystitis, but no pain?
I am 25yrs old. I was just diagnosed, but I have no pain, just frequency. The doctor told me to take elmiron for a few months. He said it will protect the lining of my bladder and my bladder will heal on its own. He told me I will be fine.
Hey smashit. I looked at you other questions and decided to answer since I know IC. I know that one of the symptoms of IC is urgency. How did he diagnose you IC? Did he/she do a cystoscopy or a potassium test? Do you get bladder infections often? If yes to either of these questions then you probably have IC. If not, then maybe get a second opinion. Look for a Urogynecologist in your area. Its a specialist that treats the whole area, which is nice because sometimes those things can be tied together. I hope this helps.
Does anyone know if interstitial cystitis has any affect on orgasam in women?
You might just have an overactive bladder.
Try to find a very good urologist in your area. Usually GPs are not so well versed in this area as specialised urologists are.
And you might like to try a female urologist as well. Not to be sexist, but I do find them more understanding than male urologists on these issues.
