Why Am I Experiencing Bladder Pain?

It is very distressing to experience any form of bladder pain.

The type of pain can vary quite widely, including:

• Stinging or burning sensation when you pass urine.
• Severe spasms in your pelvic area.
• Constant, low level ‘nagging’ pain in pelvic area.
• Pain that comes and goes in cycles and perhaps is worse when your bladder fills.
