A member asked:

Suffering interstitialcystitis past 1 yr. now 37 weeks pregnant. i want to know the risks associated with vaginal delivery & c-section on my bladder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Some risk: Interstitial cystitis symptoms are caused by the lack of a protective layer in the bladder.This lets irritants get to nerve endings.Delivery should not change this.There is always some risk of bladder damage with a c-section but interstitial cystitis doesn't change this nor does this change interstitial cystitis.The main risk to the bladder with vaginal delivery is to support.This also is the same
