Cystoscopy and morphology

Because it is widely felt, that cystoscopy and
bladder morphology provides important
information, it was decided to make a
classification including findings like
glomerulations and Hunner’s lesion during
cystoscopy with hydrodistension and
inflammatory or other changes at
morphological investigation of bladder
biopsies.
ICS definition


Painful Bladder syndrome (PBS) defined
by ICS “suprapubic pain related to
bladder filling, accompanied by other
symptoms such as increased daytime
and nighttime frequency in the absence
of infection or other pathology”.

Taxonomy

Painful Bladder Syndrome does not fit into the
taxonomy of other pelvic pain syndromes
like:



Urethral pain syndrome
Vulvar pain syndrome
Etc.

Taxonomy



It was therefore decided to use the name
Bladder Pain Syndrome in the future


Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS) is diagnosed on the
basis of chronic pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort
perceived to be related to the urinary bladder
accompanied by at least one other urinary symptom
such as persistent urge to void or frequency.
frequency
Confusable diseases as the cause of the symptoms
must be excluded.
The presence of other organ symptoms as well as
cognitive, behavioral, emotional, and sexual
symptoms should be addressed
