American Urological Association Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of IC/BPS

چکیده
The American Urological Association has published recommendations aimed at guiding physicians in recognizing interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS), conducting a valid diagnostic process, and treating patients by maximizing symptom control and minimizing adverse effects. The guideline defines IC/BPS as an unpleasant sensation perceived to be related to the urinary bladder that is associated with lower urinary tract symptoms of more than six weeks’ duration, in the absence of infection or other unidentifiable causes.
