Female Orgasm Difficulty - Caused by Painful Bladder

It is very difficult to achieve sexual intimacy with another person if you're suffering from serious bladder problems.  Whether it's persistent burning or irritation or a frequent need to go to the bathroom, severe bladder problems interrupt sexual activity and render a satisfying sexual encounter nearly impossible.

Unknown Causes
 

Painful Bladder Syndrome is also known as Interstitial Cystitis (IC) that is characterized by discomfort or painful sensation to bladder that is not caused by bacterial infection or other known identifiable causes.

Interstitial Cystitis

Interstitial cystitis is a urinary bladder disease characterized by urinary frequency and urgency as well as pressure or pain in the bladder or pelvis. Pain typically increases as the bladder fills and reduces after urination. However, sometimes pain is experienced with urination, often in the urethra.

There may be difficulty in starting the urine stream and discomfort driving, traveling or working. What's more, many people suffering from interstitial cystitis experience pain with sexual intercourse. Although the disease previously was believed to be a condition of menopausal women, growing numbers of women are being diagnosed in their twenties and younger.
