Your healthcare provider will try to isolate the cause of your vesical tenesmus. They will ask you about your medical history and symptoms. Then, they may conduct a physical examination. Based on the findings you may be referred to further tests such as: - Blood and urinary tests - Ultrasound, pelvic X-ray, CT, or MRI scans - STD panel test - Cystoscopy - Colonoscopy
