ABOUT THE ICA PRESS RELEASES FEATURE ARTICLES PHYSICIANS' RESOURCES ... OUR SPONSORS (and free sample offers) IC Terminology Guide ICA Resource Materials Guide WHAT IS INTERSTITIAL CYSTITIS? nterstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic inflammatory condition of the bladder. Its cause is unknown. "Common" cystitis, also known as a urinary tract infection, is caused by bacteria and is usually successfully treated with antibiotics. Unlike common cystitis, IC is believed not to be caused by bacteria and does not respond to conventional antibiotic therapy. It is important to note that IC is not a psychosomatic disorder nor is it caused by stress. WHO IS AFFECTED? IC can affect people of any age, race or sex. It is, however, most commonly found in women. Recent epidemiological data suggest that there may be greater than 700,000 cases of IC in the US. SYMPTOMS Some or all of these symptoms may be present: FREQUENCY: Day and/or night frequency of urination (up to 60 times a day in severe cases). In early or very mild cases, frequency is sometimes the only symptom. URGENCY: The sensation of having to urinate immediately, which may also be accompanied by pain, pressure or spasms.

Subscribe now >> Interstitial Cystitis of the Bladder Q: I am a female in my 70's and have had a cystoscopy under sedation and was diagnosed as having an inflammation of the bladder. I was told to avoid coffee, tea, chocolate and diet sodas. I'm taking Prosed DS twice a day but it doesn't seem to be helping that much. Are there other foods I should avoid or is there anything else I could do to give me relief from the almost continuous burning feeling? A: You may have interstitial cystitis which is a chronic problem of the bladder mainly experienced by women. Besides pain and burning, patients often feel an urgency to void and urinate very frequently in small amounts, have pelvic pressure with sitting, and experience pain with sex which may persist for days afterwards. Some women have ulcers or bleeding of the bladder. The good news is that you are not alone. Over 500,000 women may suffer from IC and the Interstitial Cystitis Association is an excellent organization which has up-to-date information on research and treatment of this baffling disorder.

Will it affect my baby in any way? What is interstitial cystitis? Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder condition that can cause pain and other symptoms. People with IC have an inflamed or irritated bladder wall. This inflammation can lead to: scarring and stiffening of the bladder; less bladder capacity (the bladder is able to hold less urine); pinpoint bleeding in the bladder lining. In rare cases, ulcers form in the bladder lining. Of the more than 700,000 Americans estimated to have IC, about 90 percent are women. Severe cases of IC can be very disabling. What are the causes of interstitial cystitis? No one knows what causes interstitial cystitis. Because IC varies so much in symptoms and severity, most researchers believe that it may actually be several diseases. One theory being studied is that IC is an autoimmune response following a bladder infection. Another theory is that there are substances in urine which are irritating to people with IC. Other theories are also being studied. Interstitial cystitis is different from urinary tract infections, which are caused by bacteria and can be treated with antibiotics. Studies have shown that antibiotics are not useful for treating IC.

38. Woman's Diagnostic Cyber Articles - Interstitial Cystitis Article about interstitial cystitis. Some of the causes, such as interstitialcystitis (IC), are even more difficult to diagnose. http://www.wdxcyber.com/nurine04.htm

Home About us Articles Books ... Quizzes Interstitial Cystitis - Pelvic Pain from the Bladder Frederick R. Jelovsek MD The many causes of pelvic pain make it a difficult condition to assign a diagnosis to. Some of the causes, such as interstitial cystitis (IC), are even more difficult to diagnose. The average patient may go many years with symptoms before the diagnosis is made. For that reason it is important to recognize the symptoms of IC. Interstitial cystitis is characterized by urinary frequency, urgency and pain. The pain can vary from a mild burning or discomfort, to an excruciating pain in the bladder, lower abdomen, perineum, pelvis, vagina, low back pain and thighs according to Sant GR: Interstitial cystitis a urogynecologic perspective . Contemporary Ob/Gyn 1998;43(6):119-130. It can include pain with intercourse and is often indistinguishable from other causes of pelvic pain. The pain can flare-up or go into remission. It usually gets worse around the time of menses. Sexual intercourse makes the pain worse. Patients may void 8 times or more at night and sleep loss may lead to depression. If a woman is voiding more than 8 times during the day or 4 times or more during the night, IC should be considered especially if there is pain or urgency present. Because the symptoms may be similar to an acute or chronic bacterial infection, patients have often had multiple treatments with antibiotics when in fact the urine culture does not show infection at all. Interstitial cystitis is characterized by an inflammatory response in the bladder wall but bacterial cultures are negative. Antibiotics do not help the pain and urinary frequency. End stage interstitial cystitis (IC) often results in ulcers in the bladder wall that can be seen when a scope (cystoscopy) is used to view the inside of the bladder. The gold standard in diagnosis of IC used to be by cystoscopy in which either ulcers are seen or petechial hemorrhages. Biopsy of the bladder mucosa may not be needed if the appearance is typical. Now. however, the concept of IC is changing.
