Conditions That Should Be Ruled Out During Your Diagnosis

Every patient struggling with bladder and/or pelvic pain is on a journey to determine the cause of their symptoms. For some, it is driven by a muscle injury, perhaps from childbirth or a history of athletics. For others, nerve dysfunction is at the root of their symptoms. There are many potential conditions that can mimic the symptoms of IC. To make a proper diagnosis, these “confusable conditions” should be ruled out. If you are not responding to treatments and/or are worsening over time, the American Urology Association advises patients to revisit their diagnosis. Take a moment to go through this list and then ask yourself “Could something else be triggering my symptoms?” It’s not only possible, it’s quite common.
