Zusammenfassung
Dieser Übersichtsartikel beschreibt alle relevanten Aspekte entsprechend der neuen S2k-Leitlinie der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Urologie (DGU) zur Diagnostik und Behandlung der IC/BPS (interstitielle Zystitis/Blasenschmerzsyndrom). Eine Aufstellung notwendiger und optionaler Untersuchungen und der Notwendigkeit einer Ausschlussdiagnostik werden zusammenfassend dargestellt und gewertet. Auch entsprechend aufgelistete Therapieoptionen (von konservativen, oral-medikamentösen, komplementär-medizinischen bis hin zu intravesikalen und interventionell-operativen Verfahren) geben dem Leser einen guten Überblick über die Inhalte der Leitlinie und möglicher therapeutischer Ansätze. Letztlich werden auch Übersichten der Empfehlungen inklusive Konsens der Leitliniengruppe in verschiedenen Infoboxen beschrieben.
Abstract
In this review article, the authors describe all relevant aspects of the new S2k guideline from the German Society of Urology (Deutschen Gesellschaft für Urologie, DGU) for the diagnosis and treatment of IC/PBS (interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome). A list of necessary and optional examinations and the necessity of diagnosis of exclusion are summarized and evaluated. The treatment options listed (ranging from conservative, oral drug, and complementary medicine to interventional surgical procedures) also give the reader a good overview of the contents of the guideline and possible therapeutic approaches. Finally, the recommendations including consensus of the guideline group are also summarized in various information boxes.
