* What is IC?

IC stands for Interstitial Cystitis.  It is a condition in which the lining of the bladder becomes irritated and causes significant pain.  Besides pain, sufferers typically also have a lot of frequency of urination due to the bladder irritation. There currently is no known cause.  Diagnosis involves a history of the above symptoms combined with ruling out other possible causes (such as a bladder infection) and looking inside the bladder to see the condition of the bladder lining (cystoscopy).  There is no known cure.  Treatment involves a combination of medication, dietary changes, and physical therapy including electrical stimulation, biofeedback, and manual therapy directed at treating the pelvic floor.
