What Causes Bladder Pain?

I have pain down below but I do not have pain when I pee. I get the urge to pee but sometimes I can't. Can anyone help as to what this is.

If no bacteria is found upon doing a urine analysis, go to a urologist who specializes in Interstitial Cystitis. It is a very painful disease that very few doctors are aware about. I was misdiagnosed for years until finally I read about it because my doctor also thought nothing was wrong.

I have had bladder pain, really severe now, for nearly two years. I have had urine samples done a few times but there is no infection. My doctor then just looks at me and tells me there's no infection. I think she thinks I am a hypochondriac, but this is really awful.

I pee so frequently, even during the night, that it feels like I am peeing acid sometimes. The pain is not just when I need to urinate. It sometimes feels like a sharp object being forced up inside me and when I sit down feels like the object is being pushed further inside. I have had my womb checked but it is clear. The last time I visited the doctor, she shrugged her shoulders and said to keep an eye out for blood in my stools!

It causes me to have cramps. Sometimes, the pain is so bad that I think that something more serious is wrong.

After I stop to pee, it slowly gets better. My bladder takes a while to recover from the strain, but I still feel relieved.

Can holding your pee cause bladder pain? My friend and I went on a road trip a month ago, and there weren't many restrooms along the way. She said that she had to go so badly that it hurt.

@Kristee – You can drink plenty of water and cranberry juice. Water helps flush toxins and bacteria out of your system, and cranberry juice is acidic, so it keeps the bacteria from clinging to your bladder.

I once had bladder and kidney pain, because I had let my urinary tract infection go on for too long and it had traveled to my kidneys. This was much more serious, yet it could have been prevented.

Now, I drink several bottles of water a day. I also drink at least one glass of cranberry juice to prevent infections. So far, it's working.

If you hate the taste of cranberry juice, you can take cranberry extract supplements instead. You just swallow two a day with water, and they do the same thing that the juice does.

Bladder infection pain always happens to me in the form of cramps. They are like the cramps I get with my period, but they are down lower.

I just got over a urinary tract infection. I felt like I had to pee every half hour, and I also felt really queasy.

I knew that I should not be passing that much urine, because I hadn't been drinking any more than usual. The cramps alerted me that something must be wrong.

My doctor gave me antibiotics to treat the infection. I'm just wondering how I can prevent bladder infections in the future. Does anyone know?

i have had pain in my bladder for six years. i have seen a doctor and in scans, the problem is not there, but i have pain.

i felt pain in my bladder last night and went to the hospital. he gave me an injection and a tablet and it stopped within two minutes but i feel pain in urethra and sometimes in my bladder. what is this indication.

@Planch: I suffer with severe bladder pain. My gyno uro did a scope and said it was kind of bloody inside but believes part of the lining was missing. Ma be due to when my uterus dropped it pulled part of my bladder's lining. It may also be due to acid. My doctor put me on a low acid diet, gives me muscle relaxer suppositories to put in my girl and about two times a week I catheterize myself and administer bladder shots made up of three medicines.

I still have bladder pain when I sit but my spasms and urge to urinate every two minutes is gone. I get sleep at night again but I have to be faithful about my treatment. When I let up the other symptoms come back. As far as the pain we have tried all kinds of meds to block pain messages but so far the only thing that takes the edge off is just old fashioned pain killers.

My uterus was taken out and every now and then estrogen cream helps too. It plumps the tissue back up and helps with dryness. I will pray we both find an answer. God bless!

One of the most common causes of bladder pain, particularly when coupled with pressure, is cystitis.

It often presents as a frequent urge to urinate, along with bladder pressure and pain.

Luckily, it is very treatable, so if you are experiencing bladder pain symptoms, particularly with accompanying pressure, you should see your doctor at once -- you don't have to just suffer through it.

@Planch -- Are you sure it's coming from your bladder, and not simply a burning sensation when you pass urine?

In that case, it could be a urinary tract infection, which is often associated with burning and bladder pain.

Other possible causes of burning and bladder pain are bladder cysts, or a reaction from a catheter.

If you haven't recently had a catheter (which I'm assuming is correct, or you would have mentioned it) then I would put my money on a UTI.

In any case, you should contact your doctor to have him take a look and see what's going on. He should even be able to give you some bladder pain treatment.

I have been having burning bladder pain on and off for a while now and am looking for answers.

Does anybody have any advice?
