📋Overview
Interstitial Cystitis, also referred to as bladder pain syndrome, involves recurring discomfort or pain in the bladder and the surrounding pelvic region. This condition often presents with symptoms such as an urgent need to urinate and increased urinary frequency, even when the bladder is not full.
Clinical guidelines often prefer the term bladder pain syndrome to describe this symptom-based diagnosis, as it occurs in the absence of a clear underlying pathology or urinary tract infection. The severity of symptoms can vary significantly among individuals and may fluctuate over time.
