Hello
I was just diagnosed with IC with Hunner’s ulcers. Does anybody know good uro doctors in Chicago area who specialize in treating this type of IC? My dr wants to do fulguration but I would rather have steroid injection as this is less invasive.I will greatly appreciate your help. Thanks

to the IC Network.

It's pretty hard to find a doctor who specializes in IC --- there just aren't enough of us to support a total practice. One thing I suggest is to tell your doctor you'd prefer to try instillations before going for fulguration --- then if he/she refuses, you can always look for someone else to treat your IC. If you go to the IC Network home page, you'll find a link to information about medical professionals who have been recommended by other IC patients.
