Interstitial Cystitis (IC) Overview

Interstitial cystitis (IC), or Bladder pain syndrome (BPS), is a persistent condition causing painful urinary symptoms. It’s characterized by ongoing discomfort (pain, pressure, bladder spasms) in the pelvic region, lasting over six months, often worsening during bladder filling. Limited bladder capacity is common but not obligatory. Frequent urination, nighttime urination, and urgency are frequently associated with IC. There are two distinct types: Hunner-Type and Non-Hunner-Type IC. The exact cause of this disorder remains uncertain, likely involving various factors such as changes in bladder lining permeability, prior infections (including bacterial cystitis history), hormonal, vascular, or neurological abnormalities, trauma, inflammation, autoimmune diseases, as well as risk factors like pelvic surgery, alterations in the microbiome, reduced microcirculation, histamine sensitivity, pelvic floor dysfunction, endometriosis, genetic factors, and psychological factors. Diagnosing IC relies on patient history, questionnaires, pain records, bladder diaries, and physical examinations, including pain mapping and urinalysis. Further assessments encompass ultrasound, uroflowmetry, urethrocystoscopy, flow-electromyography, urodynamics, provocation tests (e.g., KCl test), bladder hydrodistension, and anesthesia-assisted bladder biopsy with mast cell counting. Potential differential diagnoses span musculoskeletal, gastrointestinal, gynecological, neurological, psychological, and urological disorders. Treatment for IC is primarily symptomatic, spanning non-invasive behavioral approaches, oral medications, complementary therapies, intravesical therapy, transurethral procedures, invasive or surgical interventions, and rehabilitation measures. A personalized, phased approach is recommended, reserving cystectomy and urinary diversion as a last resort, albeit yielding excellent pain relief in IC patients. IC severely impacts the overall quality of life, affecting physical, psychological, domestic, social, sexual, and occupational facets. It’s a chronic and often recurring or progressively worsening condition, typically resulting in a low-capacity bladder, frequent urination, and severe pain.
