The limiting factor for IC is pain in the bladder for more than 6 weeks without an infection present. You will also want to mark down how many times you have gone, the time, and how much. If you are urinating a regular amount each time, then it is probably not IC. IC patients often feel like they have to urinate fully but only produce a small amount each time because they keep needing to go to the bathroom. This type of information can be given to your primary doctor who will refer you to a urologist.

Pain and urinary urgency for several months and urine tests clean with no bacteria are an indication of this. But many other disorders can produce urinary symptoms, so it is best to go to a professional.
