Interstitial Cystitis (IC) is also known as the bladder pain syndrome. It’s a complex, chronic disorder characterized by an inflamed or irritated bladder wall. IC affects women (and men) of all ages. In general it feels like a bladder infection (UTI) that never seems to go away. In fact, it is often misdiagnosed as a recurrent UTI. If left untreated, IC can lead to scarring and stiffening of the bladder, decreased bladder capacity and pinpoint bleeding.
