| Abstract: | Interstitial cystitis, or painful bladder syndrome, is a condition characterized by bladder pain, urinary frequency, urgency, and nocturia. The cause of the condition remains obscure and it remains a diagnosis of exclusion. Current theories of pathogenesis include a chronic or subclinical infection, autoimmunity, neurogenic inflammation or bladder urothelial defects. |
