What is the O'Leary-Sant scoring system?

ICSI (Symptom Index): 7 items on urgency, frequency, nocturia, and burning (0-20). ICPI (Problem Index): 4 items on bother (0-16). Total 0-36. Score >=12 suggests significant IC/BPS.

What treatments are effective for IC/BPS?

Multimodal approach: dietary modification (avoid acidic foods), pelvic floor PT, oral pentosan polysulfate, intravesical lidocaine/heparin/bicarbonate, intravesical DMSO, and cyclosporine for refractory disease.

How is IC/BPS confirmed on cystoscopy?

Cystoscopy under anesthesia with hydrodistension: Hunner lesions (present in ~10-15%) are pathognomonic. Glomerulations (petechial hemorrhages after distension) are supportive but non-specific.
