Bladder Pain Syndrome - 26/04/19
, Aniesa Slack, MD b, Maris Hoke, MD bRésumé |
Bladder pain syndrome (BPS) is a common cause of chronic pelvic pain with associated lower urinary symptoms. BPS is incurable; management requires an interdisciplinary team (nutritionist, physical therapist, behavioral health specialist) focusing on maximizing patient function. For patients, dietary changes (avoiding acidic, spicy, and caffeinated foods) are effective at relieving symptoms. Medications may be considered in patients who do not respond to these treatments. Referral to urology or urogynecology should be considered if bladder cancer is suspected (especially in patients who smoke or have environmental exposures) and in patients with refractive symptoms for consideration of intravesicular therapy.
