How does one make a diagnosis if
interstitial cystitis?
Unfortunately, the diagnosis of
interstitial cystitis can be difficult. Many women go through useless tests
because their physicians have no clue about this disorder. If you have been
diagnosed with interstitial cystitis, you need to see a urologist. The ideal
test for making a diagnosis of the disorder is cystoscopy. This involves
general anesthesia and examining your bladder using a camera probe placed
through the urethra. The bladder usually appears red, small and scarred.
However, the findings at cystoscopy do not correlate with the symptoms that you
may have. All other studies for investigating interstitial cystitis are a waste
of money.
