PY - 2015 TI - A multidisciplinary approach to the evaluation and management of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome: an ideal model of care JF - Translational Andrology and Urology; Vol 4, No 6 (December 07, 2015): Translational Andrology and Urology (Interstitial Cystitis/Painful Bladder Syndrome: Part II) Y2 - 2015 KW - N2 - Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is a complex syndrome that has long been treated with bladder directed therapies, which often fail to address the multiple underlying etiologies that can contribute to this disease process. This disease often involves symptoms that extend beyond the bladder and involve the pelvic floor making it crucial for clinicians to approach the patient using a multidisciplinary team. This article will discuss the underlying etiologies for IC/BPS and describe the multidisciplinary approach which we have found to be extremely successful in managing this patient population.
