Did your interstitial cystitis cause symptoms like blood showing up in urine, which caused you to think you had a UTI? What sent you to the urologist for a cystoscopy?

Pain. Painful bladder on a regular basis. No blood in urine, just the pain similar to when you have a UTI. Cystoscopy found no signs of cancer but a lot of inflammation. I managed through this period by drinking a ton of water and avoiding acidic foods and it did get better, but would flare up periodically. I finished my 5 years of anastrozole and I do think that exacerbated it.
