I have interstitial cystitis. It took 5 years to diagnose and even I am a lot better off than most sufferers because I only had the 24/7 urinary urge without the pain. This fun little illness involves having the urge to urinate 24 hours a day. Other symptoms include pain in your pelvis or between the vagina and anus in women or between the scrotum and anus in men (perineum). Chronic pelvic pain. A persistent, urgent need to urinate.Frequent urination, often of small amounts, throughout the day
and night. People with severe interstitial cystitis may urinate as often
as 60 times a day. Pain or discomfort while the bladder fills and relief after urinating.Pain during sexual intercourse. Oh and it's not curable! I have to take a drug called Elmiron every day for the rest of my life. This drug works in my case, but some sufferers cannot find any treatment that works and are suicidal. This was not caused from having a baby. No one knows what causes it!
