Can bladder spasms and interstial cystis pain and pelvic muscle pain and spasms be related to lupus flare
Yes, bladder spasms, interstitial cystitis pain, and pelvic muscle pain can be related to lupus. Lupus can cause inflammation and weaken the immune system, increasing the risk of urinary tract infections (UTIs) and pelvic pain. Additionally, lupus-related inflammation can affect muscles and tissues in the pelvic area Show Full Answer
Yes, we can get interstitial cystitis (non-infectious inflammation of the bladder) from lupus, and we are also more prone to UTIs. Your doctor can determine your problem by checking a UA and urine culture, and a urogynecologist consultation is helpful if you have interstitial cystitis, along with involving your rheumatologist.
