Can interstitial cystitis be only in urethral area? or is urethritis? my pain is only in this area

Yes: I.C. is manifested normally with annoying bladder symptoms..& we can talk about that at length. However,this clinical entity may involve the URETHRA only ! I have seen reports of urethral involvement previously in British literature. My treatment is to have urethral dilatation by specialist aware of this ill-definedcondition.Additiona to squirt a dab of Lidocaine in urethra 1-2 times/day
