Smertefuldt blæresyndrom

Bladder pain syndrome is rare and leads to increased morbidity and decreased quality of life. The patients are a heterogenous group with different clinical presentations, and little is known of the different aspects of the syndrome. A thorough patient history and specialised diagnostics are required to offer these patients the best possible treatment. This review suggests an algorithm to manage these patients at all levels of the Danish health-care system. It is recommended that final diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment should be centered at large regional hospitals.
