Diagnosing IC Bladder: What You Need to Know

I had that procedure in a doctor’s office in the 1980s and was awake! I fainted. It was awful. He saw some crackers and tiny pinpoints - Hunner’s ulcers.

My urologist put me to sleep in out patient at the hospital, put a camera inside my bladder and took pictures..it showed the tiny cracks in the lining that allows acid to burn the nerve endings..thats the pain you feel and over time,the cracks get bigger,more pain...no cure just pain control, I'm on tramadol..and staying away from high acid food..no more fireball jack daniels..tomato juice..

I spoke with a urogyn and said I had the list of symptoms that described the ic.

Cystoscopy with Hydrodistension, but if that’s clear they can diagnose by ruling out other things + symptoms
