title: Role of cystoscopy and hydrodistention in the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome.
abstract: There are controversies about whether cystoscopy with or without hydrodistention (HD) plays a role in the diagnosis and treatment of interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS). We reviewed the recommendations of various societies and associations of greater impact in this complex disease, analyzing the indications, technique, findings and complications of this procedure.
