In Part Two of this video, ICN President Jill Osborne discusses some of the tests and procedures that are often used to assist in geting a diagnosis of interstitial cystitis and bladder pain syndrome.
@jazziackeys Jazz... which test are you specifically referring to? I've also had most of these tests and, I agree, they are not fun but they might be necessary to get a complete diagnosis. I think patients deserve more than just a guess when it comes to diagnosis and treatment recommendations. Some testing is necessary. FYI.. the new AUA guidelines specifically discourage high pressure, long duration hydrodistentions.. which removes the most painful test out there thank god!

This is NOT simple or PAINLESS for someone for someone w/IC. I would run! I've been there and it is not pleasant. Do you have an MD or RN degree???
