Have you ever dreaded visiting the bathroom, or lost sleep at night because of lower abdominal pain that strikes multiple times a day? Have you ever visited a clinic thinking it was chronic cystitis, only to feel frustrated after hearing that nothing was particularly wrong? Here is an overview of the real cause behind persistent urinary pain: interstitial cystitis.

'Doctor, I think I have cystitis. It stings and hurts again when I urinate, but strangely, the clinic always says my tests are clear. Could it be something serious?' Many patients share this exact worry. I understand how frustrating and discouraging it is to feel constant discomfort in the bladder while test results continue to show nothing abnormal.

Do you feel the urge to go again less than 5 minutes after leaving the bathroom, along with a constant, tingling discomfort in your lower abdomen? Having trouble sleeping soundly because you are up and down all night visiting the bathroom... Have you just been bearing it, thinking you merely drank too much water or that you are just being overly sensitive?
