📋Overview
Interstitial cystitis (IC), also known as bladder pain syndrome (BPS), is a chronic condition characterized by bladder pain, urinary urgency, and frequency without an identifiable infection or other obvious pathology. The term 'interstitial cystitis' is considered a legacy label, with 'bladder pain syndrome' now preferred in many clinical guidelines to better reflect the symptom-based diagnosis.
