With masks, hand sanitizer, and socially distancing, Georgia Urology’s Dr. Jeffrey Proctor will continue to host the annual ICA Walk for an IC Cure in Cartersville, Georgia.
Georgia Urology’s Dr. Jeffrey Proctor serves as the ICA Medical Advisory Board Member and practices at our Cartersville office. He graduated from New York Medical College, where he received the Sprague Carlton, MD. Award for Proficiency in Urology. He completed both his internship and residency at New York Medical College. His areas of expertise are interstitial cystitis, overactive bladder, bladder Botox, and InterStim Therapy.
Interstitial cystitis/bladder pain syndrome (IC/BPS) is recurring pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region, often associated with urinary frequency (needing to go often) and urgency (feeling a strong need to go).
“More than 12 million people in the United States suffer from IC, and it can affect anyone,” says Dr. Proctor. “I’ve seen countless cases, and IC can have a dramatic, often negative impact on the quality of life. We must continue to raise awareness and strive for a cure. Events such as the ICA Walk for an IC Cure will help us get there, one step at a time.”
