Each completed a questionnaire that included views of the female body and described up to 5 interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome pains, noting 40 descriptors for each. Two-thirds of the 226 patients reported multiple pains. Pain could be consolidated at 4 sites, including suprapubic, urethral, genital and nongenitourinary. Most descriptors were similar and little evidence indicated that 1 pain influenced pain at another site. Another 3 patterns were evident, including 1) a suprapubic > urethral > genital > nongenitourinary ranking in site distribution and at each site proportions that were solitary, the worst and the most frequent pains, and pains that responded to bladder events, 2) site specific allodynia, and 3) for urethral and genital pains a wider spectrum of sensations, including burning, stinging and sharp. Patients with urethral (38%...Continue Reading
