ICAMA

My journey with IC began in June 2013. One morning, I woke up with excruciating bladder pain just days after undergoing a laparoscopic procedure. My gynecologist initially assumed I had a bladder infection and prescribed antibiotics, but I found no relief. After further examination, he referred me to a urologist who performed a cystoscopy and confirmed the diagnosis of interstitial cystitis (IC). At that moment, I had no understanding of IC or how I was supposed to live with this condition for the rest of my life.

At BOMAMED, we have been treating IC for the last three decades. In the beginning, we were young, and thought, as complicated as things were we could eventually create a protocol that was "one size fits all". Going back a little further, at the beginning of our education, I remember speaking to the headmaster of our University. I said to him, "when we graduate, we will know everything, so this way we will be able to help so many people quickly". In return he smiled, he answered, "no, my dear, when you graduate, you will know enough to really begin learning".
