If you go to the Mayo clinic site, they have a good description of what it is, what tests are done and how it is treated. I had two hydro distentions done. The second was followed by DMSO Coctails inserted into bladder once a month. Worked well for me.
Does anyone know if pain and a sensation of heaviness and pressure in the vagina is a symptom of IC?
