Interstitial cystitis symptoms usually fall into one of two patterns: significant suprapubic pain with little frequency or a lesser amount of suprapubic pain but with increased urinary frequency. A person with IC may have discomfort only in the urethra, while another might struggle with pain in the entire pelvis. ĭuring cystoscopy, 5–10% of people with IC are found to have Hunner's ulcers. Pelvic pain experienced by those with IC typically worsens with filling of the urinary bladder and may improve with urination. Other frequently described symptoms are urinary hesitancy (needing to wait for the urinary stream to begin, often caused by pelvic floor dysfunction and tension), and discomfort and difficulty driving, working, exercising, or traveling. In general, symptoms may include painful urination described as a burning sensation in the urethra during urination, pelvic pain that is worsened with the consumption of certain foods or drinks, urinary urgency, and pressure in the bladder or pelvis. The most common symptoms of IC/BPS are suprapubic pain, urinary frequency, painful sexual intercourse, and waking up from sleep to urinate. The term "interstitial cystitis" first came into use in 1887. Women are affected about five times as often as men. In the United States and Europe, it is estimated that around 0.5% of people are affected. Pelvic floor exercises and long term antibiotics are not recommended. Procedures may include bladder distention, nerve stimulation, or surgery. Medications may include ibuprofen, pentosan polysulfate, or amitriptyline. Lifestyle changes may include stopping smoking and reducing stress. Treatments that may improve symptoms include lifestyle changes, medications, or procedures. There is no cure for interstitial cystitis and management of this condition can be challenging. Other conditions which can produce similar symptoms include overactive bladder, urinary tract infection (UTI), sexually transmitted infections, prostatitis, endometriosis in females, and bladder cancer. Ulceration or inflammation may be seen on cystoscopy. The diagnosis is usually based on the symptoms after ruling out other conditions.
While it can, it does not typically run in a family. The cause of interstitial cystitis is unknown. Many of those affected also have irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia. IC/BPS is associated with depression and lower quality of life. Symptoms include feeling the need to urinate right away, needing to urinate often, and pain with sex.
It is the urologic chronic pelvic pain syndrome of women. Interstitial cystitis ( IC), a type of bladder pain syndrome ( BPS), is chronic pain in the bladder and pelvic floor of unknown cause.
