Bladder and pelvic Pain

If you're experiencing bladder or pelvic pain, you're not alone—and it's not something you just have to live with. These symptoms are real, often distressing, and deserve attention. While they can stem from various conditions, the good news is that there are effective ways to manage and treat them. You're taking an important first step by learning more.

About Bladder and pelvic Pain

Bladder and pelvic pain can be complex because the pelvis is home to several interconnected structures: the bladder, uterus, bowel, muscles, nerves, and ligaments. Pain can originate from any of these areas—or a combination of them.

One of the more common causes we see is interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome, where the bladder becomes irritated and painful without a clear infection. In other cases, pain might be related to pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, endometriosis, past surgeries, or even stress-related muscle tension.

Pain may be constant or come and go. It might feel like pressure, burning, or aching in the bladder or lower abdomen. Some people experience pain during urination, intimacy, or even just sitting. These symptoms can feel frustrating and isolating—but they are valid, and there is help available.

DIAGNOSIS

Because bladder and pelvic pain can have many causes, we take a comprehensive and compassionate approach to diagnosis.

This may include

A detailed medical and symptom history

Urine analysis to check for a urinary tract infection and blood in your urine.

Urine tests to check for infection or inflammation

A bladder diary, to understand how symptoms change over time

Imaging tests, such as ultrasound or MRI, when needed

Our goal is to rule out serious conditions and better understand what’s causing your discomfort. Even if no obvious cause is found, your pain is still real—and treatable.

TREATMENTS

There is no one-size-fits-all approach to treating bladder and pelvic pain. 

We’ll work with you to develop a personalized care plan, which may include:

  • Pelvic floor physical therapy, guided by specialists who understand how muscles, posture, and tension affect pelvic pain
  • Dietary modifications, especially reducing caffeine, acidic or spicy foods that may irritate the bladder
  • Medications, including bladder relaxants, anti-inflammatories, or nerve pain treatments
  • Bladder training and behavioral techniques, to support better bladder function and reduce urgency
  • Pain management strategies, such as heat therapy, nerve blocks, or, in some cases, neuromodulation (e.g., sacral nerve stimulation)
  • Counseling or CBT, especially if stress, trauma, or anxiety play a role
  • Complementary therapies like acupuncture, yoga, or meditation, which many patients find beneficial

We believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms.
