Bladder pain was recorded by Q4 of the Interstitial Cystitis Symptom Score, while nonbladder pain was captured by the Visual Analog Scale. LUTS, sexual dysfunction, stool consistency, perception of problems related to the bladder, and general well-being were captured by questionnaires.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 448 young men (18\u201340 years; median 30 years, interquartile range: 25\u201335 years) were studied across 16 centers. Eighty-seven (19.8%) reported no pain (Group 1), 143 (32.6%) bladder pain alone (Group 2), 39 (8.9%) only nonbladder pain (Group 3), and 170 (38.7%) both bladder and nonbladder pain (Group 4). Men in Group 4 were more likely to report reduced strength of stream (odds ratio [OR] 1.95; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.27 and 3.01), need to stop and start (OR 1.81; 95% CI: 1.19 and 2.74), sense of incomplete evacuation (OR: 2.64; 95% CI: 1.58 and 4.40), and urgency (OR: 1.73; 95% CI: 1.16 and 2.59), while men in Group 2 were more likely to report urine leak for no apparent reason (OR: 1.85; 95% CI: 1.17 and 2.90).
