For most patients with CI, it is difficult to arrive at a diagnosis. The urologist should follow the procedure below to establish a correct diagnosis: Cultures of urine for the presence of a bacterial infection; Exclusion of other diseases and / or disorders with symptoms similar to those of CI cancer of the bladder, kidney, bladder tuberculosis, vaginal infections, sexually transmitted diseases, endometriosis, radiation cystitis and neurological disorders; Hydroids tension with cystoscopy under general anesthesia if no infection is present and if no other disease is detected.
Distention under anesthesia is required for the diagnosis of CI as a simple cystoscopy does not always identify the typical characteristics of the IC and can be very painful for patients who suffer. It is therefore necessary to distend the bladder under general or local anesthesia to detect tiny hemorrhages on the bladder wall indicative of IC.
A biopsy of the bladder wall may be necessary to exclude other diseases such as cancer, and confirm the diagnosis. The CI is not associated with bladder cancer.
