Interstitial cystitis refers to the condition in which a patient feels pain in the region above or at the position of the urinary bladder. The urinary bladder is a part of your urinary tract that collects and stores urine and empties itself upon stimulation by nerves. In this disorder, there is some abnormality in this process, and a patient feels pain on passing urine, increased need to go to the toilet, or pain in the region above the urinary bladder or the pelvic floor. It is sometimes called bladder pain syndrome. No cause nor cure has been established. It is found to be associated with some other chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome and fibromyalgia. A person can have an improved life by following some lifestyle changes, medications, and procedures.
