I have had it for about three years! But I totally forgot about it bc of other severe illness! Now my Dr. says that I have blood in my urine and that I't not an infection! I have to go to the urologist again! But I will have to have a cystocopy done again! Do you have any suggestions?

Unfortunately the cystoscopy really needs to be done as unexplained blood in the urine can be caused by a variety of sources. Interstitial Cystitis is the most common cause, but there are other causes such as infection, stones, ulcerations, erosion's, varicies, and tumors both benign and malignant. As it is a reoccurring issue it needs to be checked to ensure that there is nothing else developing.

Click on the link I put under "Sources". It will run a Yahoo! web search on "Interstitial Cystitis". Al the top results look like good sites for finding answers to questions like this.
