Watch The IC101 Master Class
Whether you are newly diagnosed a grizzled veteran, our understanding of IC/BPS has changed dramatically in the last few years. Rather than a bladder disease, IC is now considered a pelvic pain syndrome for which there are several phenotypes, distinct patient groups each with their own suggested treatments. The IC101 Master Class will bring you completely up to date on our understanding of IC, how it is diagnosed and, most importantly, how to find the best treatment for your unique case.
