Urinary endometriosis is a rare condition accounting for 1-5.5% of the extragenital endometriosis locations. The diagnosis takes long time during which patient misdiagnosed as urinary tract infection or interstitial cystitis. A 25-year-old married woman presented with cyclical pain last for ten days every month for six months prior to diagnosis. There was no history of hematuria. Had three times caesarian section. Endometrial mass on posterior wall of bladder about 3 × 2 cm treated by transurethral resection. Chocolate appearance of blood during transurethral resection is highly suggestive of diagnosis of bladder endometriosis.

Female bladder pain syndrome (FBPS), previously known as interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, is a life-altering and morbid condition that occurs primarily in female patients and can be variable in presentation. Given the absence of pathognomonic symptoms and sensitive diagnostic tests, significant symptomatic overlap with numerous other pelvic conditions (such as pelvic floor tension myalgia or endometriosis) occurring in women makes diagnosis of FBPS challenging. The frequent co-occurrence of FBPS with other pain conditions and functional somatic syndromes further complicates diagnosis and management.

Introduction And Hypothesis: Overactive bladder (OAB) is characterised by urinary urgency, with or without incontinence, often accompanied by daytime frequency and nocturia, in the absence of urinary tract infection or other identifiable causes. Population studies estimate the prevalence of OAB at 12.8% (EPIC study), increasing with age, reaching up to 43% after age 40.
