Interstitial Cystitis Overview
Interstitial Cystitis (IC), commonly known as Painful Bladder Syndrome, is a chronic illness that causes pelvic pain occasionally as well as bladder pressure and pain. The pain can be mildly uncomfortable or extremely painful. Most people experience the need to urinate because the bladder, a hollow, muscular organ that collects urine, swells until it is full and then sends signals to the brain that it is time to urinate through the pelvic nerves.
