Gender Disparities in Procedural Management of Hunner Lesion Interstitial Cystitis

This study investigates sex-based differences in the clinical presentation, management, and outcomes of patients with Hunner-type interstitial cystitis (HIC). The authors found that, despite similar disease severity, females reported a higher symptom burden and longer diagnostic timelines, while male sex was a predictor of repeat fulguration procedures. The findings highlight the necessity for sex-stratified approaches in diagnosing and treating HIC.
