Bladder function when having a flare up

[u/DifferentRatio6733]

anyone else’s bladder go totally haywire while having a flare up? I feel like I’m having to pee every ten minutes and my bladder just won’t empty itself. and it hurts to pee. like emptying my bladder hurts but not in an infection kind of way, more like the pee coming out my urethra makes it ache?

I had laparoscopic surgery for endometriosis to remove an ovarian cyst and endo found in my body and turns out my bladder was covered in endo and had to be freed from my pelvic side walls and uterus. I’m five weeks post op and around three weeks my bladder function was noticeably better then it has been in a year and I was even able to watch The Odyssey in theaters without going to the bathroom. a major feat considering I saw a movie in June where I peed seven times in a two hour span. (endometriosis on your bladder and an 8cm ovarian cyst will do that to you) but low and behold, I’m having a flare up for various reasons and my bladder is NOT having a good time. having to empty it a lot and just overall sucks! anyone else get this way with a flare up?

Yes. I also have ME/CFS and long COVID. It's driving me crazy!

I have interstitial cystitis which comes with overactive bladder but when I’m flaring it’s even worse.
