What Causes Abdominal Pain?

I've been told I have I.c.s., I had a minor prodedure where my bladder was inflated so that my urilogist can examine and confirm diagnosis of I.c.s., he said I had 2 minor cracks in the wall of my bladder. Its been 6 months since and no more utis (I was getting 1 monthly). I have noticed however when I wake up I have abdominal pain, light cramping from holding in urine while asleep. After the procedure my dr tried to put me on 5 meds, but I couldn't afford them at the time and felt I was doing fine w/o them. Here I am 6 mos later with occasional abdominal pain from holding in urination thru the night. Is this the I.c.s. and what causes the abdominal pain. Btw it does usually go away after I urinate, I just feel soreness for a lil while. 29yr old female, haven't had to see urilogist in 6 mos.

HI.
Thanks for your query and an elucidate history.

This can be ics,. I would advise to go for another cystoscopy examination as the perfect diagnosis is very important.
I proper treatment of you and your sex partner on simultaneous basis may help you to get a permanent relief as your frequency of symptoms ans severity have reduced.
Another important point is never to hold urine as this will again increase your problem.
Intraveous peylography and ultrasonography will again help to confirm or rule out other effects the problem has caused.

I find this answer helpful
