A member asked:
Can recurrent uti/ antibiotic use cause ic? is it normal to have slight pain/sensitivity during urination after treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
IC is not repeat UTI: Lower uti's are usually responsive to antibiotics, but recurrences are common. Other conditions besides infection can cause frequency and urinary discomfort; interstitial cystitis is only one of many. The hallmark of ic is visualization of 'glomerulation' on cystoscopy; however, ic may exists without seeing this. Potassium sensitivity test in the office can confirm. You do need a diagnosis.
