“…In 2002, the International Continence Society (ICS) published new recommendations and, notably, proposed that Interstitial cystitis should be renamed painful bladder syndrome (PBS) [28]. The ICS diagnosis of PBS is based on suprapubic pain related to bladder filling, day or nighttime frequency, and the absence of other obvious pathology [29]. Psychosocial association with painful bladder syndrome is shown by one more study which reported that the syndrome was more common in those who experienced abuse, who are worried about someone close to them and those who were having trouble paying for basics.…”

Aim: The aim of this study is to identify the common urinary problems in Indian females, their etiology and symtomatology. Material and Methods: This is a prospective epidemiological study of 703 female patients with urinary problems, who attended the surgery and gynecology OPD (outpatient department) in our institution which is a tertiary referral centre in central India. Result: 58% of patients were middle age (31 -55) yrs. Burning micturition was the most common urinary complain (607 patients) followed by increased frequency of micturition (309 patients). 68% females took months or even years to take first consultation after appearance of their symptoms. 14% percent of patients suffered from urinary incontinence (stress, urge and mixed). 86% of women had education level below fifth standard. About 58% of females gave birth to 3 or more than 3 issues. About 254 (36%) patients had one or more unassisted delivery at home. Thirty eight percent of patients still remained undiagnosed. More than 50% of undiagnosed females lie in middle age group. 68% of undiagnosed patients took consultation months or years after their symptoms first appeared. Irritative symptoms are the most common presenting complains of these undiagnosed patients followed by pain in abdomen. Around 60% of patients had history of either mental distress, domestic violence or any neuropschiatric disease. This study only gives us an idea about the urinary problems faced by females and their probable causative factors. Many more studies need to be done involving multidisciplinary approach in order to benefit this section of our society.

“…In 2002, for the first time, the ICS defined IC, calling it a painful bladder syndrome (PBS), delineating it as: "the complaint of suprapubic pain related to bladder filling, accompanied by other symptoms, such as increased daytime and night-time frequency, in the absence of proven urinary infection or other obvious pathology [18,19]." The ICS reserves the diagnosis of IC as a "specific diagnosis that requires confirmation by typical cystoscopic and histological features."…”

“…The ICS reserves the diagnosis of IC as a "specific diagnosis that requires confirmation by typical cystoscopic and histological features." This definition may miss 36% of patients, primarily because it confines the pain to a suprapubic location and mandates a relationship of pain to bladder filling [18]. This disorder, despite confusion, came to be known as PBS/IC or IC/PBS.…”

Urethral pain syndrome is a symptom complex that includes dysuria, urinary urgency, frequency, nocturia, and persistent or intermittent urethral and/or pelvic pain in the absence of proven infection. Bladder pain syndrome is a clinical diagnosis, based primarily on chronic symptoms of pain from the bladder and/or pelvis associated with urinary urgency or frequency in the absence of identified cause for the symptoms. To date, the term, urethral pain syndrome, remains to be unclear in referring to a distinct subgroup of bladder pain syndrome. However, these two syndromes share many similarities, except the organ of pain. This review is intended to summarize the current state of literature with regard to similar pathophysiology and possible interrelations between urethral pain syndrome and bladder pain syndrome.

“…[32][33][34] Warren and colleagues found that by using "pelvic pain" as the key descriptor that 100% of his population fit the case definition. [35][36][37] Pain may be worsened with specific foods, drinks and/or worsened with bladder filling and is improved with urination. 38 …”

Hypothesis: bladder pain syndrome (BPS) presents by both urological and gynecological symptoms. The gynecological symptoms include chronic persistent pelvic pain, dyspareunia and decreased libido on the other hand urological symptoms include wide variety of symptoms as bladder discomfort, dysuria, frequency, and urgency. Although, the definition and diagnostic criteria for the condition was established, the pathogenesis, etiology and histologic findings of BPS are still not fully understood and diagnosis is made by exclusion. Review of published data including both gynecological and urological articles focusing on the updates in the diagnostic tests, pathology and the recent therapies. The searched words were bladder pain syndrome, interstitial cystitis and painful bladder. The free full text article found after our search were 454 articles after exclusion of deficient article not covering the whole subject, 91 articles were enough for this work to be completed. From this review, Bladder pain syndrome is still unclear disease lacking curative therapy up till now and patients are still suffering and the mixed complex symptoms put further challenge on both urologists and gynecologists to solve the problem.
