The American Urological Association just announced new Guidelines for the treatment of interstitial cystitis.  It's the first update in 7 years, and it's big for pelvic rehab professionals!

We basically have an entire category of treatment ("behavioral and non-pharmacological") that we are unique qualified to administer.

Among the highlights (and things we've been advocating for...

1. The AUA specifically calls out that Kegel exercises should not be done for patients with IC
2. Additional studies showing Elmiron has limited efficacy (or, in several trials, no efficacy at all) in treating IC over a placebo, as well as the chance for long-term eye damage
3. Acknowledging an elimination diet (and not the 'IC Diet') is the gold standard for nutritional care

Here's the link to the new AUA Guidelines for IC - hope you enjoy the 'sode!
