X=affirmative response; 0=blank response for participants who did not report that particular duration of flare. For instance, the first row of the table includes participants who reported pelvic pain as their most bothersome symptom when they were not experiencing a flare and during all flares that they experienced (minutes-, hours-, one day-, and multiple days-long flares, as appropriate for each participant).

Includes pain, pressure, or discomfort in the pubic or bladder area; in the area between: their rectum and testicles (perineum, males only) or the vaginal area (females only); or during or after sexual activity

Includes urgency, frequency, nocturia, and sense of incomplete emptying.

Includes symptoms reported by participants as “other bothersome symptoms”: pain during or after urination, urethral pain, pain at the tip of the penis, pain after ejaculation, pain/burning in the bladder, dripping with urination, fatigue, and back pain.
