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. IC is sometimes called bladder pain syndrome, or frequency-urgency-dysuria syndrome.
If you have interstitial cystitis, the signal to empty your bladder is sent more often or when your bladder is not very full. The condition most often occurs between ages 30 to 40, although it has been reported in younger people. Women are 10 times more likely to have IC than men.
