CLEAR ANSWERS TO COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently Asked Questions

What does this quiz measure?
It reviews common symptom patterns often discussed in relation to interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome, such as urinary urgency, frequency, and pelvic or bladder discomfort. Results are informational only and do not diagnose, confirm, or rule out any condition.
How should results be interpreted?
Score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries and should be treated as a prompt for further consideration. Similar symptoms can occur with urinary tract infection, overactive bladder, stones, gynecologic conditions, and other causes.
Who should avoid using this quiz as a substitute for care?
It should not replace evaluation for persistent, worsening, or concerning symptoms. Urgent medical care is needed for inability to urinate, visible blood in urine, fever with side or back pain, severe worsening pain, fainting, or persistent vomiting.
How long does it take and how many questions are included?
Estimated completion time is about 10 minutes. The quiz includes 15 questions.
How should questions be answered if symptoms vary?
Select the response that best reflects the typical or most frequent experience over the past several weeks. If unsure, choose the closest option rather than leaving items blank.
WHAT THE TEST MEASURES
About This Assessment

Do I Have Interstitial Cystitis Quiz - Symptoms and Signs

This quick, free self-check compares your experiences with patterns often discussed in relation to interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome. This is not a diagnostic tool: it cannot diagnose, confirm, or rule out interstitial cystitis or any other condition, and its score bands are unvalidated reflective summaries. Urgency, pelvic discomfort, and frequent urination can have many causes, so discuss persistent or concerning symptoms with a doctor or urology specialist. Seek urgent medical help for inability to urinate, visible blood, fever with side or back pain, severe worsening pain, fainting, or persistent vomiting.
