Symptoms And Diagnosis Of Interstitial Cystitis

Frequent Urination In Small Amounts

A interstitial cystitis patient will often experience frequent urination in small amounts. With this condition, the bladder sends signals to the brain indicating it's time to urinate, even if the bladder isn't actually full. This can cause an individual to need to use the bathroom urgently multiple times a day, even if their bladder isn't close to full. Again, a possible cause of this symptom is a defect in the protective lining of the bladder. Other exact contributing factors haven't been proven, but it's possible allergies, infections, heredity, and autoimmune reactions can all contribute to the body's mixed-up signals.
