Components of Bladder Pain Syndrome Care
✔ Detailed Symptom Evaluation – Thorough assessment of bladder pain characteristics (e.g., dull ache, sharp pain), urinary frequency/urgency, and impact on daily life, in the absence of infection.
✔ Exclusion of Other Conditions – Comprehensive testing (urinalysis, urine culture, prostate exam, imaging) to rule out UTIs, prostatitis, kidney stones, or other urological disorders that mimic BPS.
✔ Dietary & Lifestyle Modifications – Guidance on identifying and avoiding trigger foods and drinks (e.g., acidic foods, caffeine, alcohol), stress management techniques (e.g., mindfulness), and bladder retraining.
✔ Oral Medications – Prescription drugs such as pentosan polysulfate sodium (Elmiron®), antihistamines, tricyclic antidepressants, or specific pain relievers to manage symptoms.
✔ Intravesical Instillations – Direct instillation of medications (e.g., DMSO, heparin, lidocaine cocktails) into the bladder to help soothe the bladder lining and reduce inflammation or pain.
✔ Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy – Referral to specialized physical therapists who can address pelvic floor muscle tension, spasms, and dysfunction often associated with BPS pain.
✔ Advanced Therapies – For severe or refractory cases, options may include neuromodulation (e.g., sacral nerve stimulation), hydrodistension, or, rarely, surgical interventions.
✔ Psychological Support & Pain Management – Counseling, biofeedback, or chronic pain management strategies to help cope with and reduce the impact of persistent pain.
