Diagnosis
The diagnosis of painful bladder syndrome or interstitial cystitis requires a specialized and personalized evaluation.
A comprehensive assessment is carried out, which may include:
- Detailed medical history and analysis of symptoms, paying special attention to the relationship between pain and bladder filling, urination, and its impact on quality of life.
- Laboratory tests and urine tests, aimed at ruling out urinary tract infections, active inflammation, or other associated conditions.
- Functional studies and specific urological tests, selected on a case-by-case basis, which may include:
- Urodynamic studies to evaluate bladder function and urination.
- Cystoscopy, which allows direct observation of the inside of the bladder and assessment of the condition of the urothelium.
- Bladder capacity and sensitivity tests.
- Pelvic floor assessment when a muscle component is suspected.
An accurate diagnosis is essential for determining the most appropriate treatment and avoiding unnecessary or ineffective therapies.
