Yes: Endometriosis can get on the bladder and cause bladder pain and painful urination. Interstitial cystitis (ic) can also cause those symptoms.

Question 7

can anti inflammatories cause bladder problems?

Accepted Answer

: I think you asked this question before whether ibuprofen causes urinary retention. It is very unlikely but we do not say never in medicine because people react to medication differently and in rare case we call that reaction an idiosyncratic effect. Ibuprofen can cause acute renal failure which can make significant reduction in urine output, i.e. you void less, but it does not mean bladder problem

Question 10

Urinalysis & culture: A urinalysis and a culture are a good start.   Talk to your doctor about your specific symptoms.  You will need an exam, including a pelvic exam.  Based on your history and exam, other tests like blood tests, an ultrasound, or a ct scan may be ordered.
