Yes: Endometriosis can get on the bladder and cause bladder pain and painful urination. Interstitial cystitis (ic) can also cause those symptoms. So sometimes it can be a little difficult to figure out. Starting with some urine testing, some blood work, maybe a cystoscopy would help to get you answers.

I have endometriosis growing around my bladder (seen during previous surgery) causing Interstitial cystitis type symptoms. If surgery to remove it doesnt improve symptoms, can I request my bladder to be removed? Would they take me seriously at 27?
