Even if it isn't endo in your bladder, it may be something called
interstitial cystitis. My endo is centralized on my bladder (meaning
the thickest parts are there). After many tests, this was the
diagnosis. Treatments can vary, but it may be something you want to
talk to your doctor about. You will most likely need to see a
urinologist.
