You have more than 7-bathroom visits
The average adult pees between four and six times a day. More than that could be a sign of a bladder problem. Patients with this symptom may be tempted to rationalize it away with excuses such as, ‘I drink a lot of water,’ or ‘I’m going just in case,’. Don’t make justifications if you think you might have a medical issue—95 percent of people with IC find themselves looking for a restroom more often.
Your pants are uncomfortable
Every IC patient surveyed has described pain above the bladder, just a few inches below the belly button. The pain gets worse as the bladder gets fuller, which could explain why the body wants to go to the bathroom more often—an emptier bladder means less pain. In some cases, the region can be so tender that even waistband pressure can be unbearable.
