Symptoms of Bladder Pain Syndrome

The cardinal symptoms of bladder pain syndrome (BPS) are pain perceived to be from the bladder, urinary urgency and frequency, and nocturia. Bladder pain has become the sole necessary criterion of BPS. Most patients report multiple BPS pain sites: 83 % suprapubic, 36 % urethral, 23 % genital, and 29 % non-genitourinary sites. Pain appears to be the driving force of urgency and nocturia. When asked the cause of urgency, about three quarters of BPS patients report pain. In nocturia, pain may play a twofold role: directly in awakening the patient and indirectly in generating the sensation of urgency. The reason for the often marked frequency of BPS is considered but not proven to be a result of the abnormal urge to void. Present information indicates difficulty in constructing an instrument with adequate sensitivity and specificity to distinguish BPS from vulvodynia and endometriosis in women, BPH and CP/CPPS in men, and OAB and IBS in both sexes. Whether more detailed descriptions would be more discriminatory is unclear. Also unclear is the etiologic relationship of BPS to these pelvic syndromes and to systemic symptom-based syndromes such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and migraine.
