Perhaps: One component of interstitial cystitis is decreased bladder elasticity and decreased bladder capacity in the setting of an irritated bladder. This creates the urge to urinate more frequently and the inability of the bladder to relax to hold more urine. See your urologist or a urogynecologist.

It may: Interstitial cystitis can be bothersome, and holding your urine is not recommended. Keep your fluids up and try to find a clean rest room you are comfortable using when out. Best wishes.
