Non-bladder centric interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome phenotype is significantly associated with co-occurring endometriosis.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with IC/BPS and co-occurring endometriosis were significantly more likely to carry a non-bladder centric IC/BPS phenotype as well as several comorbid, systemic pain diagnoses. This study characterizes features of a target IC/BPS phenotype that could potentially benefit from endometriosis and systemic pain syndrome screening.
