Interstitial cystitis (IC)
Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is a
chronic bladder disease/disorder is one of many urinary diseases.
You may think you have a bacterial urinary tract infection (UTI) known as cystitis, but antibiotics haven't helped. Instead you may have interstitial cystitis, a chronic inflammation of the bladder wall. A rare condition that primarily affects women, interstitial cystitis can have a long-lasting adverse impact on your quality of life. Although interstitial cystitis is chronic, for most people it isn't progressive, which means however mild or severe your symptoms, they won't get worse over time. For many, the severity of symptoms fluctuates, and for some, the condition goes into periods of remission. For a small percentage of people, symptoms worsen quickly, decreasing the size of the bladder and reducing the volume of urine it can hold. Although there's no treatment available that eliminates the symptoms of interstitial cystitis, a number of medications and therapies may offer relief. Work with your doctor to find what works best for you. Signs and symptoms The signs and symptoms vary from person to person. They also can vary in one individual.
