    Hydrodistention is used sometimes to relieve the symptoms of IC but only for a period of time.  It does require a general anaesthetic so there are associated risks..  Have had it done twice whilst having cystoscopies and it semi worked once. Symptom relief varies from person to person so it may work for you.
