Symptoms And Diagnosis Of Interstitial Cystitis

Significant Relief After Urinating

Individuals with interstitial cystitis often experience significant relief after urinating. The urge to urinate subsides, at least until the next small amount of urine enters the bladder. Bladder and pelvic pain also tend to subside. This relief can be attributed to the body no longer sending signals it needs to urinate or that it's being irritated. Internal irritation of the bladder is what can lead to many of these symptoms. Urinating eliminates the internal irritation, so the symptoms subside for a while. This symptom can also be common in other conditions, like urinary tract infections. Some individuals experience this symptom as they age.
