Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder problem caused by inflammation or irritation of the bladder wall. In IC, scarring of the bladder causes the bladder to stiffen, decreasing the amount of urine it can comfortably hold.

There are probably many âinsultsâ to the bladder that could lead to interstitial cystitis. What is clearly understood though is that inflammation is at play, with immune dysfunction, specifically allergies and sensitivities, having a central role.
