Interstitial cystitis from rough sex once?


Is it possible to get interstitial cystitis (IC) from having extremely rough sex one time? It was my first time a month ago and ever since I have been having UTI symptoms, but no infection.

Clarification: This is not just plain cystitis I am asking about, but interstitial cystitis, which is a chronic condition in which no bacteria is present.

interstitial cystitis isnt caused by sex, they actually dont fully know what causes is.... One of the symptoms is pain during intercourse but its not considered a cause...

"The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown, though several theories have been put forward (these include autoimmune, neurologic, allergic and genetic)."

Interstitial cystitis is a chronic condition without a known cause. There are decent treatment options and a urologist can give you the options.

That having been said, it is important to address the possibility that this is in fact a UTI. You say that it happened after having sex for the first time - this can happen with UTIs. There are several bacteria that cause UTIs that may not be picked up by conventional testing and need special tests. You could have one of these and results would come back "negative".

Another very real possibility you should have checked out is an STD. Many STD (including chlamydia and gonnorhea) can cause symptoms of cystitis - have these checked out, especially since you had a new sex partner.

Lastly, your symptoms might be caused by a yeast infection or similar infection - if you're not sure, see your doctor.

Good luck!

According to the Association for Interstitial Cystitis, the cause for this is unknown.
