Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a chronic bladder health condition that causes discomfort or pain in the bladder area. Along with this pain are lower urinary tract symptoms which have lasted for more than six weeks, without having an infection or other clear causes. Most people with IC feel the need to urinate frequently and urgently. IC is more common in women than in men.

About 4 million Americans suffer from interstitial cystitis (IC), a recurring uncomfortable or painful condition of the bladder. IC is also known as painful bladder syndrome (PBS). IC symptoms are similar to a bladder infection, but IC does not respond to antibiotics. About 8 in 10 people with IC are women.

The Urology Care Foundation is the official foundation of the American Urological Association.
