This is a toughie.......i'm finding a lot about treating IC with BCG to shorten periods.......which would indicate to me that it does have an effect on the cycle......but since so many of the people with blc are male and the females past menopause...what do you want to bet they haven't studied it?
I shall ask the master Dr. Lamm........Pat
