Abstract
Bladder symptoms accompanying a spectrum of disorders, ranging from urethral syndrome to interstitial cystitis, may be caused by potentially reversible factors. Some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents, particularly tiaprofenic acid, can cause frequency, urgency and suprapubic pain which is reversed upon discontinuing the medication. Anabolic steroids and GnRH agonists can on occasion cause bladder i irritability. Approximately half of women with bladder endometriosis have frequency and dysuria, usually without hematuria. Mycoplasma, ureaplasma and chlamydia are all associated with urethral syndrome. Cystitis may be caused by herpes simplex virus, herpes zoster, human T-lymphotrophic virus type 1, cytomegalovirus, toxoplasma and candida. Some work-related toxins may cause bladder effects without neoplasm. Foods high in tyrosine, tyramine and aspartate may exacerbate painful bladder syndrome. A search for potential non-bacterial sources of irritative lower urinary tract symptoms is warranted in evaluating women with such symptoms.
