A member asked:

At what point will a dr consider removing your bladder for interstitial cystitis or severe bladder pain? my pain is so disabling its more comfortable to hold my urine than to empty it. antibiotics and pain relief not working?

Before contemplating cystectomy & urinary diversion I recommend consulting a specialist in intractable interstitial cystitis at a department of urology at a university hospital near you. You might try hypnosis for a.mind body approach.
