I Am Frequently Urinating Like 20 Or More Times A Day, For Example 2-3 Times In A Hour In A Half Or 4-5 Times During Bedtime. Also It Takes Like 15 To 25 Seconds For My Urine To Pass. I Finally Seen A Uro & I Was Diagnosed With Interstitial Cystitis At The Age Of 24years Old. 7/12/05 The Urologist Determined This Through My First Cystoscopy And With Pictures Taken From My Bladder. My Bladder Looked Real Damaged And Polluted With Spots/veins. My Bladder Has Shrunken A Bit, Too Is What The Uro Mentioned.

Very sorry you have to go through this. Unfortunaly there is not much that can currently be done for IC (though a lot of research is going on so I would keep checking in with your uro) There are some supplements on the market that have shown some results in research.

Also, it seems reading your post it seems that you may have also developed a muscular condition known as chronic pevlci pain syndrome. Essentially, this is do to a chronic tightening of the pelvic muscles. It may be because the IC has caused you to contract the muscles or it may be you have been unconciously doing it for quite some. Fortunately, this is treatable through physical therapy. I suggest taking a look at "A headache in the pelvis" by Dr. Anderson.

Let me know your thoughts. Good luck.
