See below: Various causes of chronic pelvic pain with IC (aka chronic painful bladder syndrome) being one of them. Bladder/pelvic discomfort associated with urinary frequency/urgency usual symptoms. Often aggravated by stress and acid diet. U/A and culture usually normal. Variety of available treatment options. ICA website (www.ichelp.org) very helpful. Recommend seeing a urologist competent in managing IC.

In my 40s. Recurring RBC in urine for years. Urologist recommended cystoscopy. Is it really necessary at this point since it's been yrs? If it cancer, wouldn't I have known it by now? Can interstitial cystitis cause this? Would prefer to avoid test?
