Bladder Pain Syndrome
It’s not just "going to the bathroom more often". It’s scanning every building you enter for the nearest toilet. It’s planning your drive around rest stops. It’s bracing yourself for the sharp, burning ache that comes with bladder changes.
Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS), also called interstitial cystitis (IC) doesn’t just live in your bladder. It seeps into your routines, your relationships, your sleep and your sense of freedom.
How many times today will you plan your life around a bathroom. How many nights will you lie awake, not from worry, but from the ache in your pelvis? How many times will you quietly decide not to drink that glass of water – just to avoid the pain that might follow?
The right treatment can help you reclaim what’s been taken.
What is Bladder Pain Syndrome/Interstitial Cystitis?
Bladder pain syndrome is a chronic condition causing bladder discomfort, urgency and frequent urination – often in the absence of urinary tract infection.
Typical symptoms include:
- Persistent pelvic or bladder pain
- Dysuria (burning or painful urination) in the absence of infection
- Urinary urgency (feeling the need to go right away)
- Urinary frequency (going many times, day and night)
- Pain during or after urination
- Pain with sexual activity
The exact cause isn’t always clear, but possible contributors include nerve hypersensitivity, bladder lining damage, immune changes and pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.
Specialist Interventional Treatments
Our approach combines medical expertise with advanced, hospital-based minimally invasive procedures to target the pain at its source:
Pelvic Nerve Blocks and Rhizotomies
Target the pudendal or other pelvic nerves transmitting pain from the bladder region.
Pelvic Floor Botox Therapy
Releases overactive pelvic floor muscles that can contribute to bladder pain and urinary symptoms.
Ganglion Impar Block
Targets a key nerve at the base of the spine, interrupting chronic pelvic and bladder pain signals.
Ketamine Infusion Therapy
Resets the way your nervous system processes pain, especially for those with long-standing symptoms.
