Appointment prep
Prepare for an interstitial cystitis or bladder pain evaluation
Bladder pain, urgency, and frequency are frequently misdiagnosed as recurrent UTIs or 'just anxiety.' Medvo helps you document the chronic nature and request proper urologic evaluation and pain management.
Symptoms patients describe
- · Bladder pain that worsens as the bladder fills, relieved by voiding
- · Urgency, frequency (day and night), pain with intercourse
- · Negative urine cultures despite severe symptoms
Tests & referrals to request
Framed as evaluation — your clinician decides what is appropriate.
- · Cystoscopy with hydrodistention (when clinically appropriate)
- · Referral to urogynecologist or interstitial cystitis specialist
- · Documentation of symptom impact and ruling out other causes
If you've been dismissed
- · Repeated antibiotics for 'UTIs' with negative cultures
- · Told to drink more water or 'relax' without workup
