Interstitial cystitis

Taylor

Has anyone ever experienced interstitial cystitis? My doctor just referred me to a urologist to be checked, anyone know how they check for this and what treatment options are?

Honestly thought I had cysts, went to my obgyn and after tests we thought bladder infection so I started an antibiotic then my cultures came back negative which would indicate no infection. So we're at a loss as to what could be causing pain in my bladder.
