A member asked:
Have symptoms of ic, ruled out most other bladder conditions thru testing. i can't bear to have cystoscopy. will a dr dx/treat for ic without one?

Maybe: Depends on the doctor, generally we recommend cystoscopy to complete the evaluation for reversible causes but some doctors may decide it is ok to trial some treatment for symptom management while awaiting cysto. Depends on your symptoms too because the medical treatment choices vary depending on which symptoms are most dominant in your case. Wouldn't hurt to ask them. Hope this helps
