    My name is Michelle, 53, menopause. Experiencing pain/discomfort/pressure from my clitoris area. Take analgesic pain medication. My symptoms mimic a UTI bladder infection without bacteria. This condition is called Interstetial Cystitis. It causes pain and discomfort in the clitoris area. It has been recommended to me to have a Cystoscope test. I'm terrified! Can you be put to sleep during the procedure? Do you have any advice for me? Can they do an MRI test first? God bless Michelle
