The appearance of the disease is facilitated by various factors, such as overheating or hypothermia. Cystitis can appear after sex without a condom.

Urolithiasis

Unpleasant sensations in the bladder area and inside the organ can be caused by the movement of stones. The pain intensifies when walking and when a stone penetrates the urethra. The patient wants to go to the toilet. However, he cannot urinate because the urethra is blocked. In men and boys discomfort in the bladder can radiate to the head of the penis. At the initial stage of the disease, this becomes the only symptom.

Urethritis

Tumors

If a patient has pain in the bladder area, he may have a benign or malignant tumor. On early stages a person experiences unpleasant sensations that may not cause him severe discomfort. At the decay stage, the pain becomes acute. Cystitis may be associated.

Cyst

In most cases, the cyst develops in the urinary duct.

In the early stages, its development may be asymptomatic.

For more late stages Signs of a cyst may be:

  1. Uncharacteristic pain during menstruation in women. In this case, there is a disruption of the menstrual cycle.
  2. Blood in urine. The symptom indicates a slight hemorrhage in the bladder.
  3. Pain with frequent urination. Possible urinary incontinence.
  4. Nagging pain in the lower abdomen, occurring in both men and women.

If the pain does not subside for more than 12 hours, it is advisable to seek medical help.

The patient may need surgery.

Pain with a full bladder

Pain when filling the bladder can be a symptom of many diseases - gynecological pathologies, cystitis, prostate adenoma and others. A possible cause of pain is vesiculitis (inflammation of the seminal vesicles in men). Pain occurs deep in the pelvis, above the pubis and in the perineum. With vesiculitis, the sacrum or lower back often ache.

Bladder pain during pregnancy and after childbirth

During pregnancy, the uterus enlarges and puts pressure on the bladder. Painful sensations occur. The bladder is “pulling.” Stagnant urine accumulates inside it. This leads to the development of microorganisms, and then to inflammatory processes, which can also cause pain. Unpleasant sensations after childbirth are in most cases natural and associated with physiological changes in a woman's body. Pain after caesarean section may be caused incorrect installation catheter or the use of certain medications during surgery.

In children

Pain in the bladder in children can be caused by all of the previously listed diseases, tumors or injuries. In addition, pain may be associated with taking certain medications (sulfonates), vitamin deficiency, intestinal diseases and decreased immunity.

Diagnostics

To put correct diagnosis, the doctor must interview the patient. The patient needs to be told in detail about how the bladder is emptied and what sensations he experiences. The doctor needs to palpate (feel) the organ. The patient should report whether the bladder hurts when pressed.

To clarify the diagnosis, the patient must pass general analysis urine and urine analysis according to Nechiporenko. The attending physician prescribes an ultrasound, which is performed with an empty or full bladder. Men are prescribed a prostate examination. You can examine the inside of the bladder using cystoscopy.

Treatment of bladder pain

Without knowing the cause of unpleasant sensations, you should not try to get rid of them yourself. To diagnose and draw up an effective course of treatment, you must consult a doctor. Some causes of pain (cyst, tumor, stones) are eliminated surgically.

Drugs

Most effective drugs can be prescribed only after identifying the causative agent of the disease and its sensitivity to drugs. Tablets Nolitsin, Normax, Norbactin and others can get rid of bacteria in the bladder.

After antibiotics, herbal remedies are prescribed - Monurel, Cyston, etc. The course of antibiotics cannot be long. Medicines based on natural ingredients practically do not cause side effects and allow you to fight the pathogen.

Traditional medicine

Use folk remedies in case of discomfort in the bladder, it is permissible only after a diagnosis has been made. It is advisable to obtain the approval of the attending physician. Treatment at home can be used as complementary therapy. Some folk recipes help cope with inflammation or pain in the bladder. However, getting rid of cysts and neoplasms with the help alternative medicine almost impossible.

Sand can be removed from the bladder using milkweed infusion. 1-2 tbsp. l. Pour a glass of boiling water over the plants. The decoction must be infused for an hour. The drink is consumed 20-30 minutes before meals or an hour after meals. The course of treatment is 10-15 days. If the patient has stones, you should not try to get rid of them yourself.

You can combat urinary retention with an onion compress. A medium-sized onion should be finely chopped, wrapped in a clean napkin and applied to the lower abdomen for 2 hours every day for 6-8 days. Onion compress is recommended to be used for preventive purposes.

Relieves urinary incontinence herbal tea. You need to mix 100 g of marshmallow root, 100 g of nettle and 70 g of yarrow. 2 tbsp. l. the collection is poured with a glass of boiling water and left to infuse overnight. In the morning, strain the drink and take several sips throughout the day.

A bath with bay leaves will help get rid of inflammatory processes. 100 g of the plant is boiled in 2 liters of water for 20 minutes.

For inflammatory processes, cranberry juice is recommended. Other sour berries, fruits and vegetables are prohibited.

Possible complications

The inflammatory process in the bladder can spread to other organs of the genitourinary system. For example, urethritis can cause complications in the form of orchitis in men. In women, inflammation of the urethra can lead to cystitis. Chronic inflammatory processes negatively affect reproductive organs and often lead to infertility.

Neoplasms greatly complicate the work of not only the bladder, but also neighboring organs. If the tumor is malignant, it is possible death. When injured, hematomas form, leading to inflammatory processes. Stones can permanently cause acute urinary retention.

Prevention

In order to prevent inflammation of the bladder, it is necessary to protect your body from cold and overheating. Cystitis and urethritis often occur after unprotected sex.

Inflammation of the bladder: Symptoms and treatment of the disease

Cystitis - inflammation of the bladder

To understand why it hurts, you must first identify the causes of such pain. The prescription of adequate treatment and the speed of recovery often depend on how correctly the causes of pain symptoms are identified.

What is taken into account when making a correct diagnosis?

If you experience pain in the bladder, it is important to find out some points:

  • the nature of their occurrence;
  • intensity;
  • when and why they appeared;
  • what diseases or operations were previously suffered;
  • where they are given or distributed;
  • what they are accompanied by;
  • what other symptoms accompany them;
  • where they are localized.

From the place and time of occurrence of pain symptoms in urinary organ Correct diagnosis of the problem also depends. For example:

  • constant pain characterize a chronic disease of the genitourinary system;
  • their strengthening in the urethra during bowel movements may indicate the presence of stones;
  • pain after urination or at the very end indicates inflammation in the urethra.

Symptoms of the disease in women

In women, pain in the bladder is usually due to the structure of their body. The urinary ducts are positioned in such a way that various types infections can linger there quite easily.

Important. Similar diseases Pregnant women are often susceptible due to changes in their body and its weakening protective functions.

The causes of pain in women can be:

  • inflammation of the bladder itself;
  • diseases of the genital organs;
  • kidney diseases.

If pain symptoms in women often occur when moving, this may indicate the presence of stones inside the bladder that are moving around in it.

Important. When women complain of pain when urinating, the urologist first sends them for a consultation with a gynecologist, since the cause of their painful symptoms may be diseases of the genital organs, which must be correctly diagnosed in order to prescribe the necessary urgent treatment.

Symptoms of the disease in men

Pain in the bladder in men is mostly determined as a consequence of disruption of the entire genitourinary system. If the kidneys contain stones or inflammatory process, they may be accompanied by chills, fever and increased temperature.

It is also necessary to perform an examination for the presence of stones. In their absence, the fundamental factor in the resulting pain is urinary retention, which means it is necessary to identify the reasons that caused such a delay.

Most often, a man's bladder hurts when prostate adenoma occurs. It happens that representatives of the stronger sex do not notice the manifestations of this disease, since it is often asymptomatic. The disease may begin to bother you if there are interruptions in blood circulation or vascular system, under stress. The pain may begin in the groin, testicles, or simply in the lower abdomen, accompanied by painful urination. For any ailments of this kind, it is necessary to urgently make a diagnosis in order to choose the right treatment method.

Men and even children may have discomfort in the head of the penis, which signals a bladder problem. A thorough examination and appropriate treatment are required. Otherwise, it may even occur that the urethra is blocked by stones or a tumor, causing very severe unbearable pain.

Factors causing pain

The main causes of bladder disease in men and women are generally considered to be:

  • inflammation of the walls of the organ (acute or cystitis);
  • inflammation of the urinary tract (urethritis);
  • inflammatory processes in the uterus, appendages or development, characterized by pain in the bladder in women;
  • failure of blood circulation of a hormonal or menopausal nature in the walls of the urinary organ;
  • the occurrence of tumors, polyps on the surface of the bladder wall;
  • traumatic disorders in the urethral region;
  • urolithiasis, which is accompanied by;
  • at benign hyperplasia prostate;
  • the presence of stones in the urinary organ.

Diagnostics

The method gives good results differential diagnosis, based on a comparison of the symptoms manifested in the patient with the established rules of medicine, which characterize the frequency of occurrence of the corresponding pathologies in people of different ages, gender, namely:

  • inflammation of the bladder walls is more common in girls and young women;
  • urethral diseases are common in young men (urethritis, prostatitis);
  • adenomas, which cause unpleasant sensations in the urinary organ, characteristic of older men;
  • Tumors of the urinary organ are somewhat more common in men than in women, regardless of gender, in people over 40 years of age.

If you compare all such patterns with the complaints of patients when interviewing them, based on how the bladder hurts, it is quite possible to understand the causes of the disease and prescribe the right treatment:

  • The nature of the pain of cystitis or both sexes manifests itself in the same way (severe pain, continuous urge to urinate), but in men these pains can even be felt in the head of the penis. Such symptoms are usually associated with hypothermia and after warm sitz baths the pain decreases.
  • The occurrence of severe pain in the lower back, radiating down the abdomen and with frequent urination, indicates movement kidney stones, which means about the development urolithiasis. These pains may occur periodically, especially while driving on uneven roads or while walking quickly.

  • If a man's bladder hurts, it is often associated with prostate adenoma or prostatitis, and the pain can be mild, aching, and felt in the lower abdomen, in the perineal area. As a rule, pain in the bladder area in men is monotonous and constant, forcing them to often wake up at night to urinate, which, although painless, is quite painful.
  • Periodic, nagging pain, often localized in one place, indicate the presence of tumor lesions (for example, adenocarcinoma), especially if there is blood in the urine.
  • Sometimes intense characteristic pain in the lower abdomen is associated with the presence closed injuries abdomen (if the bladder was full, there may be it), fractures pelvic bones(dangerous). IN similar situations the patient is unable to urinate and there may be blood coming from the urethra.

If a woman’s bladder hurts, the reasons are often related to such things as:

  • hormonal diseases;
  • blood flow disturbances during menopause;
  • spinal lesions;
  • various gynecological diseases.

IN similar cases Usually it is not the urinary organ that needs to be treated, but rather the disease itself that caused them.

Treatment

In order to treat the bladder in men and women whose ailment is associated with pain, it is advisable to understand its importance and functionality. This internal organ is considered one of the most important urinary system human body. The urinary organ is a container where fluid accumulates for subsequent excretion. It is located in the pelvic area in the lower abdomen and has three layers of membrane:

  • internal (mucous);
  • muscular (medium);
  • serous membrane.

On one side, the bladder is connected by two channels (left and right) through which urine continuously accumulates from the renal pelvis.

Regulation of the urinary process occurs in the brain, which receives a signal about the excited, stretching walls of a full bladder, by nerve impulses spinal cord sends a signal to empty it through muscle contraction walls that direct fluid into the urinary canals.

To get rid of pain symptoms in the urinary organ, you must first treat the disease that caused them. For example, if cystitis is detected after diagnosis, then:

  • appoint special diet in combination with a strict drinking regime;
  • apply antibacterial agents to combat pathogenic microbes;
  • antispasmodics are prescribed to eliminate bladder spasms;
  • if necessary, antibiotics are prescribed.

If other diseases (stones, adenoma, bladder) are detected, their treatment is also prescribed using local therapy. The following doctors usually treat diseases associated with inflammation and pain:

  • urologist;
  • oncologist;
  • gynecologist.

The doctor interviews the patient, records all his complaints, gives directions for tests,, if necessary, refers for diagnostics, and prescribes the necessary treatment.

Sometimes you need to know what to do if you have problems severe pain. In such cases, to weaken them, you need to drink 2 glasses of plain water. This will well reduce the acidity of urine and, accordingly, reduce pain. It is very good to drink 1 glass of water every 20 minutes. If the pain does not go away, you need to take a pain reliever. You can also:

  • take a warm (but not hot) bath;
  • steam your feet;
  • put a heating pad between your legs.

In any case, you need to see a doctor and completely recover from the disease, otherwise it may turn into chronic form, which will be more difficult and longer to cure.

Symptoms of the disease are sometimes invisible, and even pain may not always appear. But it is important to listen to yourself, at the slightest ailment, unpleasant sensations associated with bladder, be sure to be examined in order to start treatment on time.

Diseases that cause bladder pain can have different etiologies.

The most common causes of this symptom are:

  • acute and chronic cystitis;
  • stones in the bladder cavity;
  • benign and malignant formations organ;
  • traumatic injuries (penetrating wounds, bruises, etc.).

If you experience pain, be sure to seek medical help.

Other causes of lower abdominal pain are:

  • in women – diseases of the internal genital organs (salpingo-oophoritis, endometritis, endocervicitis, ovarian apoplexy, tubal pregnancy, etc.);
  • in men – diseases of the prostate gland (prostatitis, prostate adenoma);
  • diseases of the rectum (proctitis, paraproctitis, tumors of the sigmoid and rectum);
  • pyelonephritis;
  • appendicitis.

Characteristics of the symptom

Pain in the bladder with cystitis is aching, dull. In acute inflammation, cramping, jerking pain may occur.

Based on how the bladder hurts (symptoms accompanying pain are also important to take into account), a diagnosis of the disease can be assumed.

Pain may be accompanied by changes in urine. It may be mixed with pus and blood. Sometimes the urine becomes cloudy, or, conversely, discolored.

Differential diagnosis of diseases of the pelvic organs

With cystitis and pyelonephritis, urination becomes frequent and painful, and when emptying the bladder, a burning sensation and stinging sensation occurs.

Another bladder disease is cystalgia. Unlike cystitis, with this disease there is no pus in the urine, and inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder is absent or only slightly expressed. To clarify the diagnosis, it is necessary to use.

With appendicitis, the pain is localized mainly in the right iliac region, and may be accompanied by vomiting, diarrhea, tension in the anterior abdominal wall, increasing temperature.

At ectopic pregnancy In addition to sharp pain in the lower abdomen, symptoms of blood loss occur:

  • pale skin,
  • dizziness,
  • loss of consciousness,
  • tachycardia, etc.

If the bladder hurts in women, it is necessary to find out if there are delays in menstruation or other signs of tubal pregnancy or discharge from the genital tract. An ectopic pregnancy can lead to significant blood loss and even death.

Important: Most diseases that cause this symptom, require urgent, sometimes surgical treatment, and delay can lead to serious complications.

Another cause of pain may be that formed in it or moved from the renal pelvis. In this case, the pain occurs periodically and can be quite acute. Typically, pain occurs after physical activity, horse riding or cycling.

Why does bladder pain occur during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, the most common cause of pain in the lower abdomen is cystitis. At the same time, urination becomes painful and frequent, brownish clots appear in the urine, which are desquamated multilayered squamous epithelium. Sometimes there is pus in the urine.

Another cause of pain in pregnant women is the onset of labor. If the pregnancy is short, the pain may indicate that a miscarriage has begun. It is important to take into account the discharge: with an ectopic pregnancy, it is brownish and scanty. When a miscarriage begins, it is bloody.

Pain in the bladder during pregnancy does not always mean the onset of some disease

In the body of a pregnant woman, changes always occur in the genitourinary system. Most often they consist of increased urination, but sometimes an enlarged uterus leads to stagnation of urine in the bladder. In this case, you just need to go to the toilet more often and not tolerate the urge that arises, as it may develop ascending infection.

Gestational pyelonephritis is not uncommon during pregnancy, the cause of which is physiological disturbances of urination. During stagnation, bacteria have time to penetrate upstream urinary tract and cause cystitis and kidney inflammation.

Important: if during pregnancy you experience pain in the lower abdomen, accompanied by discharge from the genital tract or an increase in body temperature, immediately call an ambulance.

Diagnostics

To identify the etiology of pain in the lower abdomen, it is important to use ultrasound. In this case, appendicitis, adnexitis and other inflammatory diseases of the pelvic organs can be determined. If symptoms of blood loss come to the fore (with an interrupted tubal pregnancy, ovarian apoplexy), perform vaginal examination and digital examination of the rectum. In this case, you can puncture the posterior vaginal fornix and evaluate the fluid obtained during aspiration.

If the punctate is purulent in nature, then we can assume perforated appendicitis with the onset of purulent pleurisy. If the aspiration fluid is blood, then it is necessary to exclude hemorrhage from the ovary (apoplexy) and rupture fallopian tube(with tubal pregnancy). If the effusion is serous fluid, then a possible cause of the symptom may be pelvioperitonitis (especially in women), which often has a tuberculous etiology.

In men, in the absence of other symptoms of bladder disease, an ultrasound scan of the prostate gland is performed. Often with prostatitis, pain is associated with stagnation of urine, against which the bladder can become infected, and subsequently the upper parts of the urinary system.

If there is significant or long-term pain in the bladder or lower abdomen, but conventional examination methods do not reveal the cause, laparoscopy is performed.

Pain is a signal from the body about pathologies developing in it. The manifestation of pain in the bladder becomes a reason to undergo a full medical examination of the urinary system. Only by finding out the reliable cause of what is happening will you be able to quickly deal with the problem and avoid possible complications.

Associated symptoms

Bladder discomfort can occur at any age. In children and older people, the signs of the problem are less pronounced. In young men and women, the pain can be quite severe. They are often accompanied by other symptoms:

  • Incontinence and frequent urination. In severe cases, a person needs to wear special urological pads or diapers.
  • The presence of blood in the urine or purulent inclusions.
  • Pain while emptying the bladder.
  • Feverish condition.
  • Attacks of nausea.
  • Unnatural foul odor of urine.
  • In some cases, urine changes color.

Painful sensations may migrate to the lumbar region. At the same time, the patient feels constant fatigue, performance decreases sharply.

Detection of blood in the urine is a reason to immediately consult a doctor. This is a symptom of development serious illnesses, which threaten not only health, but also life.

Main causes of pain

Before starting therapy, it is necessary to find out why the bladder hurts. There can be many reasons for this pathology:

  • Urethritis.
  • Cystitis.
  • Bladder injury.
  • Urolithiasis.
  • Paracystitis.
  • Pathologies of the prostate gland.
  • Diseases that are transmitted during sexual intercourse.
  • Malignant neoplasms in the bladder.
  • Inflammation of the coccyx.
  • Pathologies of the reproductive system in women.

Bladder pain often appears suddenly. It cannot be suppressed with painkillers, as this will spoil the clinical picture and complicate subsequent diagnosis.

Urethritis

Urethritis is an inflammatory process that concentrates on the walls of the urethra. The reason for its development is the rapid proliferation of pathogenic microflora. Among the main manifestations of the disease are:

  1. Pain in the bladder, which intensifies during emptying.
  2. The appearance of unnatural discharge from the urethra.
  3. Redness and swelling in the genital area.
  4. In severe cases, blood may be found in the urine.

Men are more likely to suffer from urethritis, but women are also often diagnosed with this condition. If the infection is not stopped in time urinary tract, then the inflammation rises higher and reaches the kidneys. In the absence of proper treatment, after some time, the symptoms of the disease disappear. At the same time, the infection continues to destroy the body. This condition is fraught with serious complications.

If a man's bladder hurts, this symptom does not necessarily indicate the presence of urethritis. The clinical picture of the disease is similar to prostatitis. Only a specialist can make an accurate diagnosis during medical examination.

Cystitis

Cystitis is an inflammatory pathology of the bladder. Due to the structural features of the urinary tract, the disease occurs in women several times more often than in men. The main reason Experts call this problem hypothermia. The risk group also includes people who sedentary image life, as well as those who ignore the rules personal hygiene. Among the main signs of cystitis are:

  • Severe pain when urinating.
  • Cutting pain in the suprapubic area.
  • Change in urine color.
  • In severe cases, patients with cystitis experience an increase in body temperature.

In some cases, the disease may be asymptomatic. If therapy is not started in a timely manner, it becomes chronic. It is characterized by alternating periods of remission and exacerbation.

Bladder injuries

This problem is relatively rare. Damage to the organ is possible due to an accident, fall, strong impact V bottom part belly and others dangerous situations. The following symptoms appear:

  1. Bladder pain. Their intensity will largely be determined by the severity of the damage.
  2. Constant urge to urinate. In this case, there is no outflow of urine. Instead, drops of blood are released from the urethra. The feeling of a filling bladder is tormenting.
  3. With intra-abdominal rupture of the walls of the organ, severe attacks nausea, body temperature rises.
  4. If the rupture is extraperitoneal, then swelling is observed in groin area, the skin acquires a bluish tint as a result of the accumulation of blood under it.

Bladder ruptures can lead to serious health consequences. The sooner the victim is taken to medical institution, the greater the chance of a quick cure.

Urolithiasis

This disease is associated with the deposition of salts in the kidneys. They form stones of various diameters. The smallest of them move independently into the ureter and come out naturally. Larger specimens injure organ tissue along their path. During the passage of stones, there is a high probability of infection or complete blockage of the urinary tract.

The main symptom of the disease is severe pain in the side and lower back. They can radiate to the bladder, genitals or thighs. Signs of the problem appear after physical activity, strong shaking or overuse liquids.

Paracystitis

Paracystitis is pain and inflammation in the peri-vesical tissue of the bladder. This disease is associated with the penetration of pathogens into the fat cells of the organ. This problem often results from chronic cystitis, occurring with complications. Sometimes the infection can migrate to nearby organs.

IN acute phase the disease is accompanied by pain in the lower abdomen, chills, increased body temperature, excessive sweating. A person constantly feels tired and overwhelmed, and loses productivity. In severe cases, an abscess forms in the bladder. The process of urination becomes more frequent, and the act of defecation brings suffering.

Prostate pathologies

Bladder pain in men is often associated with prostate diseases. It is located in close proximity to the urinary tract, so it can influence them. With tumor or inflammation, the iron increases significantly in size. It compresses the urethra, which leads to discomfort during urination.

During illness, urine for a long time does not come out of the bladder. It stagnates, which leads to the formation of an inflammatory process in the organ itself, as well as in the kidneys and ureters. In the early stages of the disease, symptoms may not appear. Subsequently, an admixture of blood is detected in the urine, and ejaculation becomes painful.

STD

Diseases that are transmitted during sexual contact are among the most common reasons the appearance of pain in. This is due to individual characteristics body structure. Infection occurs during unprotected sexual contacts with untested partners.

When pathogenic microorganisms enter the human body, they settle on the surface of the urethra and begin to actively multiply. They quickly spread throughout the urinary system and reach the bladder. To the list of the most dangerous bacteria includes: gonococci, chlamydia, trichomonas, ureaplasma, pale spirochetes.

Select a row common symptoms, which are characteristic of all such diseases:

  • Pain in the bladder area.
  • Burning sensation and itching in the genitourinary area.
  • The urge to urinate becomes too frequent and painful.
  • An unnatural secretion with an unpleasant odor is released from the urethra.
  • Lymph nodes increase significantly in size.

Untimely or incorrect treatment sexually transmitted diseases causes severe complications. In women, self-medication often ends in infertility.

Tumors

Malignant formations in the bladder are diagnosed quite rarely. The exact cause of the development of the disease is not completely known to science. Experts note that smoking, working in hazardous industries, and frequent infectious diseases are provoking factors.

Cancer is dangerous because it does not manifest itself in the early stages. Bright clinical picture observed only when the tumor reaches an impressive size and begins to form metastases. This condition cannot be treated, and the patient soon dies.

One of the most striking symptoms of cancer is pain in the bladder area, as well as the appearance of blood in the urine. Sometimes it appears. It is possible to accurately determine the presence and location of a tumor only during a medical examination.

Today there are several main treatment methods of this disease: surgical intervention, radiation therapy and chemotherapy. They are effective only in the early stages of the problem. In some cases, when prompt removal Doctors have to cut out part of the bladder as well, which negatively affects the condition of the urinary system.

Inflammation of the coccyx

The tailbone is formed from fused vertebrae sacral region spine. In shape it resembles a pyramid, with its apex facing upward. The vertebral bodies are devoid of processes. Only on the first there are small points that can be equated to processes.

Injury to the tailbone most often occurs during a fall. At the same time they are compressed spinal nerves. They are inextricably linked with the pelvic organs, including the bladder. Because of this, after an injury there is pain in the lower abdomen. At the same time, urine does not change its consistency and shade.

Disorders of the female reproductive system

If you have bladder pain and a tingling sensation in the genital area, this may be a symptom of thinning vaginal skin. This phenomenon becomes a frequent accompaniment of menopause and is diagnosed in women after 50 years. The problem is associated with a decrease in the concentration of hormones in the blood.

Even taking medications containing estrogen will not help correct the situation. The only way to improve the condition of the skin and get rid of discomfort is the use of specialized ointments.

Pain during pregnancy

The appearance of painful symptoms during pregnancy poses a great threat. They may also indicate the development of serious diseases that are fraught with health problems for mother and baby. Therefore, when similar symptom You should definitely consult your doctor.

In some cases, the reason why a pregnant woman’s bladder hurts is the pressure of the uterus on the ureters. As the baby grows, the uterus increases in size. It begins to affect all nearby organs, which may be accompanied by negative symptoms.

The first symptoms of the problem are an increased urge to urinate. They appear in the first trimester of pregnancy. In case of unfavorable development of events, the uterus compresses not only the ureters, but also blood vessels small pelvis. Blood circulation deteriorates. In conjunction with hormonal imbalance this leads to difficulty urinating. The bladder begins to hurt. An environment favorable for the proliferation of pathogenic microflora is formed. Avoid severe consequences Timely consultation with a doctor and adequate therapy will help.

To prevent the occurrence of such a problem, expectant mothers need to move more, take walks in the open air and do special gymnastics.

Diagnostic techniques

You can find out exactly why your bladder hurts only after undergoing a full medical examination. Specialists carry out the following diagnostic measures:

  • Anamnesis collection. The doctor interviews and examines the patient. He must find out exactly where the pain is, whether there are pains, whether the discomfort intensifies in the morning, and whether there are other symptoms of the problem. The lower abdomen is palpated. During it, tension in the muscles of the anterior peritoneal wall is revealed, and the most painful areas are identified.
  • Laboratory tests of blood and urine. Determined biochemical composition samples, the presence of changes associated with inflammation. Tests are also carried out to detect pathogenic microflora.
  • Ultrasound. It is carried out immediately after the patient’s admission to medical institution. The presence of organ damage, as well as structural changes in tissue, are detected.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging. This technique is considered the most informative. With the help specialized equipment It is possible to obtain detailed images of the bladder and nearby organs.
  • Excretory urography. This technique in lately is rarely used, since it was replaced by more modern methods diagnostics The essence of urography is the introduction into the urinary system contrast agent. After this, all the changes occurring in the system become clearly visible in the pictures.

If the diagnosis is carried out correctly and the treatment will be selected correctly. Based on all test results, the specialist develops a treatment program.

General therapy methods

The answer to the question of what to do if your bladder hurts can only be given by a specialist based on all the collected data about the patient. The treatment of each disease has its own characteristics. There are a number of therapeutic techniques that are applicable in all situations:

bladder pain

The bladder, vesica urinaria, is a hollow muscular organ flat-rounded, located in the pelvic cavity, directly behind the pubic fusion. The size and shape of the bladder changes depending on its filling with urine. A full bladder is pear-shaped. Its wide part faces upward and backward, and its narrow part faces downward and anteriorly. The empty bladder, when its walls collapse, has a saucer shape; its capacity is on average 750 cm 3. The bladder consists of several sections that transform into one another. The main part is the body of the bladder, corpus vesicae. The upper anterior part of the bladder forms its apex, apex vesicae. clearly visible when the bladder is full; it passes upward towards the navel into the median umbilical ligament, ligamentum umbilicale medianum, connecting the bladder to the navel; This ligament represents the overgrown urinary duct, urachus. The posterior lower part of the bladder, directed towards the rectum in men, and towards the vagina in women, represents the bottom of the bladder, fundus vesicae, the least mobile part of the bladder. The anteroinferior elongated part of the bladder makes up its neck, cervix vesicae, in this part there is the internal opening of the urethra, ostium urethrae internum.

Pain in the bladder can be a manifestation of a disease of this organ or be reflected in diseases of the kidney, ureter, prostate gland, urethra, female genital organs, coccyx. Therefore, if for pain in the bladder it is not possible to find its cause from the bladder itself, then it should be looked for in the above organs.

At chronic diseases depending on the degree of damage to the bladder, pain in the bladder can be constant, sometimes with a painful urge to urinate; localized in the pubic area or deep in the pelvis. Pain may appear or intensify in connection with the act of urination. IN the latter case it occurs either before the start of urination due to stretching of the walls of the bladder, or during the act of urination, but most often at the end of it. In the latter case, the pain is caused acute inflammation bladder. Pain that occurs in the bladder with movement and subsides at rest is most often caused by stones in the bladder and is explained by a change in their position in the bladder with trauma to the usually inflamed mucous membrane.

What diseases cause pain in the bladder:

Bladder pain can occur with the following diseases:
- Bladder diseases
- Kidney diseases
- Diseases of the ureter
- Inflammation of the prostate gland
- Inflammation of the urethra
- Inflammation of the female genital organs. Pain in the bladder with difficulty urinating can also occur with inflammatory diseases of the female genital organs. If a woman turns to a urologist with such complaints, she is referred for a consultation with a gynecologist to exclude the possibility of inflammatory diseases of the female genital area.

Symptoms of bladder pain.

Pain, independent of the act of urination, appears when driving on a bad road, during physical work. Pain that occurs in the bladder area when moving is characteristic of bladder stones and is explained by their movement in the bladder cavity. Pain from bladder stones in men, especially children, radiates to the head of the penis. Therefore, if a child complains of pain in the glans penis in the absence of local changes (balanoposthitis, phimosis) that could explain this pain, he must be examined in a hospital to determine possible availability stone in the bladder. With bladder stones, red blood cells and white blood cells are usually found in the urine. In case of acute urinary retention, which can complicate the course of prostate adenoma or urethral strictures or occurs due to stone getting stuck in the lumen of the urethra, the pain in the bladder area is acute, unbearable, the patient rushes about in bed and willingly agrees to any manipulation, even surgery just to relieve the pain. Usually the patient indicates that he cannot urinate, despite the persistent urge. A distended bladder is detected above the pubis. Persistent pain in the bladder area may be caused by an infiltrating growth malignant neoplasm. This pain sharply intensifies during the phenomena of tumor disintegration with secondary cystitis.

Pain in the bladder when urinating is characteristic of various forms cystitis. With diffuse inflammation of the mucous membrane of the bladder, pain occurs as urine accumulates in it. It intensifies at the end of urination and immediately after it, and then subsides until the bladder refills and a new urge to urinate appears. In severe forms of cystitis, this occurs at short intervals and the pain becomes almost constant. In cases cervical cystitis, when the inflammatory process is limited mainly to the area of ​​exit from the bladder, pain occurs at the end of urination and lasts for some time after its completion. This is explained by convulsive contractions of the bladder sphincter, which continue after the last portion of urine has been removed from the bladder and injure the inflamed mucous membrane. Cystitis is characterized by a triad of symptoms: frequent urination, painful urination, and the presence of pus in the urine.

Pain in the bladder associated with urination also occurs with cystalgia. The subjective symptoms of the latter largely reproduce the subjective symptoms of cystitis, but inflammatory changes The mucous membrane of the bladder is either completely absent or insignificant, and pyuria is also absent. However, with cystalgia the pain can be quite intense. The diagnosis of cystalgia is made on the basis of complaints typical of cystitis, in the absence of pyuria and changes in the mucous membrane of the bladder characteristic of cystitis, detected by cystoscopy.

Often acute pain in the bladder, accompanied by urination problems, occurs when pathological processes in the female genital organs. This occurs with adnexitis, para- and perimetritis, and inflammatory changes in the mucous membrane of the bladder caused by the spread of infection from the female genital organs are often detected.

In most cases, sharp pains– these are stones in the bladder and acute cystitis. At the end of urination, these pains intensify. If a child (boy) complains of pain in the head of the penis, and before urination the head is squeezed to reduce the pain, bladder stones are diagnosed. Due to the passage of stones or salts through the canal, inflammation develops, causing pain in the urethra.

Pain in the bladder is also characteristic of bladder tumors, especially during their infiltrating growth or as a result of their disintegration, when secondary cystitis occurs.

One of the most common causes of pain in the bladder area is prostate adenoma, or, less commonly, urethral stricture. In acute urinary retention, the pain is sharp and unbearable. The patient notes that he cannot urinate due to an uncontrollable urge. The bladder is stretched, protrudes significantly above the womb, and is very painful at the slightest touch. The painful sensations are so pronounced that the patient insists on any manipulation.
A peculiar feature of pain in the bladder area is that it intensifies as urine accumulates in the bladder and during the act of urination. After urination, the pain temporarily subsides and resumes again when urine appears in the bladder. If urination becomes more frequent (pollakiuria), it becomes painful, and leukocyturia is detected in the urine. All this is characteristic of both inflammation of the bladder and diffuse or cervical cystitis.

If the patient has a background traumatic shock there is pain in the lower abdomen with an almost continuous urge to urinate, but urine is not released, and when straining, droplets of blood appear from the urethra, this is a typical sign of a ruptured bladder.
The appearance of signs of peritonitis indicates intraperitoneal rupture of the bladder.

With inflammation of the peri-vesical tissue, dull, constant pain in the bladder can be observed, and often a swelling can be felt above the pubis (especially with inflammation of the pre-vesical space), which is often mistaken for a distended bladder. Conventional bladder catheterization; easily solves the question of the cause of the palpable formation.
