New IC/PBS Guidelines Revealed for India
Well this is very interesting. Dr. Nagendra Mishra, a doctor I greatly respect and know, has released some tentative guidelines for the diagnosis and treatment of IC in India. It kinda makes you go “hmmm” for several reasons.

#1 - They are choosing the name IC/PBS rather than Bladder Pain Syndrome (Europe) or Hypersensitive Bladder Syndrome (Japan).

#2 - The diagnosis is very similar to what is currently done though they do not suggest a whopping three biopsy sites like Europe does.

#3 - Proposed treatments really surprised me as they put a therapeutic hydrodistention as #1 on the list. Yikes!
